SL 10 SMD 104 18 G SM

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 10 SMD 104 18 G SM is a surface mount male header connector from the Fischer Elektronik SL series. It features 18 positions with a single row and a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The contacts are gold-plated, providing reliable electrical performance. The connector utilizes a push-pull fastening mechanism for secure attachment. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +163°C and supports reflow soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds. The housing is constructed from glass-fiber reinforced polyamide.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount design compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly processes
• Gold-plated contacts ensure corrosion resistance and stable signal transmission
• Push-pull locking system provides secure mechanical retention on the PCB

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• High-density electronic assemblies requiring surface mount technology
• Industrial control systems utilizing standardized pin headers
• Automotive electronics modules needing robust thermal stability

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'G' confirms gold plating and 'SM' indicates the bar magazine packaging option. Confirm that the 18-position configuration matches the required circuit density. Ensure compatibility with the mating female connector series specified in the official datasheet before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 2.54 mm pitch header is required for surface mounting. The gold plating is suitable for applications demanding high reliability and low contact resistance. Consider the push-pull feature if mechanical security during operation is critical. Verify thermal limits against the operating environment requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the Fischer Elektronik SL 10 SMD series, designed specifically for surface mount applications. The series offers various pin counts and termination options. The SL 10 variant typically features straight male pins. This specific model represents a mid-range pin count configuration within the product family.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2.54 mm pitch, 18-pin count, and surface mount form factor. Verify that alternative connectors support the same push-pull locking mechanism and gold-plated contact specifications. Ensure thermal ratings meet or exceed the -40°C to +163°C operational range.
