SL 10 SMD 078 5 G SM

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 10 SMD 078 5 G SM is a surface mount board connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a male header configuration with five contacts arranged in a single row. The connector utilizes a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch and is designed for straight mounting on printed circuit boards. The contact surfaces are gold-plated to ensure reliable electrical performance. This component belongs to the SL 10 SMD series, which offers various pin counts and termination options for electronic assembly applications.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount male header design for direct PCB integration
• Gold-plated contact surfaces for enhanced conductivity
• Single row configuration with 2.54 mm spacing

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic device assembly

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' confirms gold plating rather than tin, as variants exist. Confirm the 'SM' designation indicates surface mount packaging. Ensure the order quantity matches the required reel or bar magazine specifications provided by the distributor. Cross-reference the part number with official Fischer Elektronik documentation to confirm availability and exact physical dimensions before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, surface-mount male header is required for rigid PCB connections. The gold plating offers superior corrosion resistance compared to tin-plated alternatives. Consider the single-row layout for space-constrained designs. Verify that the mating connector supports the 2.54 mm pitch and compatible contact geometry for proper engagement.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik SL 10 SMD series of male headers. The series provides various contact counts and mounting styles. The SL 10 SMD 078 variant specifically denotes a 5-contact configuration within this lineup. These connectors are engineered for high reliability in standard electronic manufacturing processes.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Fischer Elektronik SL 10 SMD models with identical pitch and contact count but different plating, such as SL 10 SMD 078 5 Z B SM. Generic equivalents must match the 2.54 mm pitch, surface mount footprint, and male pin configuration. Verify insulation material and height compatibility before substitution.
