SL 10 SMD 078 8 S SM

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 10 SMD 078 8 S SM is a surface mount male header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features an 8-position configuration with a single row and a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pin spacing. The contacts are gold-plated, providing reliable conductivity for board-to-board or wire-to-board connections. Designed for straight mounting on printed circuit boards, this component supports reflow soldering processes. The connector utilizes a polyamide insulator and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +163°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Gold-plated contacts ensure durable electrical performance
• Surface mount design facilitates automated assembly
• Single-row male header configuration for compact layouts

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board signal routing
• General electronic device assembly

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'S' confirms gold plating rather than tin. Ensure the 'SM' packaging designation matches the required pick-and-place pad specifications for your manufacturing line. Confirm that the 8-contact length aligns with your PCB footprint requirements before ordering.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile, single-row header is required for surface mount applications. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for general-purpose electronics. Gold plating is preferred over tin for environments requiring higher corrosion resistance or frequent mating cycles compared to standard tin finishes.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the SL 10 SMD series of male headers from Fischer Elektronik. The series offers various contact counts and plating options. The '078' code typically indicates the specific body length or contact arrangement within the product family, while '8' denotes the number of positions.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Fischer Elektronik SL 10 SMD variants with identical 8-position counts but different plating (e.g., Z for tin). Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the 2.54 mm pitch, single-row male header format, and surface mount mounting style.
