SL 10 SMD 104 18 S SM

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 10 SMD 104 18 S SM is a surface mount male header connector from Fischer Elektronik, featuring 64 positions with a 2.54 mm pitch. It utilizes a push-pull fastening mechanism and square contacts. The housing is constructed from glass-fiber reinforced PA 4/6 nylon, rated for -40°C to +163°C. Contacts are gold-plated on the mating interface (157.5 µin thickness) with tin plating on the termination side. Rated at 3A and 150V DC, it supports high-density PCB interconnections.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Push-pull locking mechanism ensures secure connection retention
• Gold-plated precision contacts provide reliable signal transmission
• Surface mount design facilitates automated assembly processes

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Telecommunications equipment
• Medical devices

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SM' indicates the required bar magazine or pick-and-place packaging configuration as per the manufacturer's datasheet. Confirm that the gold-plated contact finish aligns with environmental compliance requirements. Ensure the 64-position count matches the target circuit board layout dimensions before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when high-density surface mount interconnection is required with robust mechanical retention. The push-pull feature distinguishes it from standard press-fit headers. Verify compatibility with mating female connectors regarding contact length and insulation height specifications to ensure proper engagement without stress.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the SL 10 SMD series of precision male headers designed for surface mounting. The series offers various pin counts and contact finishes to suit different application needs. The SL 10 variant specifically targets applications requiring reliable connectivity in compact electronic assemblies with strict space constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include SL 10 SMD 104 18 Z B SM (tin-plated) or SL 10 SMD 104 18 SB SM (silver-plated). Verify that alternative finishes meet the corrosion resistance and conductivity requirements of the specific application environment.
