SL 10 SMD 104 16 S SM

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Fischer Elektronik SL 10 SMD 104 16 S SM is a surface mount board connector featuring 16 male pins in a single row. It utilizes a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch and offers a contact length of 10.80 mm. The housing is constructed from glass-fiber reinforced polyamide with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. Contacts are gold-plated over nickel, while the column features tin plating. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +163°C and supports reflow soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount terminal configuration for automated pick-and-place assembly
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable electrical connection and corrosion resistance
• High-temperature resistant polyamide insulation suitable for reflow processes

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• High-density electronic assemblies requiring surface mount technology

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'S' confirms gold plating on mating contacts as opposed to tin or other finishes. Ensure the 'SM' designation aligns with the required packaging format, such as bar magazine or tape and reel, for your manufacturing line. Confirm that the 16-position count matches the design requirements before ordering.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model when a single-row, 2.54 mm pitch header is required for surface mounting. The gold-plated option is preferred for environments demanding high conductivity and long-term stability. Consider the 10.80 mm contact length for adequate mating depth. Verify thermal compatibility with the PCB material and soldering profile.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the SL 10 SMD series of Fischer Elektronik, designed specifically for surface mount applications. The series provides various pin counts and plating options to suit different density and environmental needs. The SL 10 variant typically denotes a single-row configuration, distinguishing it from multi-row counterparts in the product family.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Fischer Elektronik SL 10 SMD variants with matching pin counts but different platings, such as SL 10 SMD 104 16 Z SM for tin-plated contacts. Cross-brand replacements require verification of pitch, height, and footprint dimensions to ensure mechanical fit.
