SL 11 097 18 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 11 097 18 Z is a male header connector from Fischer Elektronik, designed for through-hole PCB mounting. It features a single row with 18 contacts and a 2.54 mm pitch. The housing is made of polyamide (PA46), and the contacts are tin-plated copper alloy. Key dimensions include a contact length of 3.9 mm and an insulation height of 3.0 mm. The connector supports a temperature range of -40°C to +163°C and withstands reflow soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Through-hole mounting for secure PCB integration
• Single-row configuration with 18 positions
• Tin-plated contacts for reliable conductivity
• Polyamide housing for thermal stability

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General electronic circuit interconnections
• Industrial control board assemblies
• Consumer electronics manufacturing

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'Z' corresponds to the tin-plated contact finish as documented in the official Fischer Elektronik datasheet. Confirm that the 18-position variant matches the required pin count for the target application. Ensure compatibility with standard 2.54 mm mating connectors. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 18-pin male header is required for through-hole assembly. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard breadboards and ribbon cables. Consider the PA46 material for applications requiring moderate thermal resistance. Verify that the 3.9 mm contact length meets the mating depth requirements of the counterpart connector.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the SL 11 series of male headers from Fischer Elektronik. The series offers various contact counts ranging from 1 to 36 positions. The SL 11 097 designation indicates a specific housing size and contact arrangement within this family. Similar parts include SL 11 097 1 S and SL 11 097 4 G, differing primarily in contact count and plating.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Fischer Elektronik SL 11 series headers with 18 positions, such as SL 11 097 18 S, if gold plating is acceptable. Generic equivalents with 2.54 mm pitch and 18 pins can be used if mechanical dimensions and thermal ratings match. Verify that alternative parts support the same reflow soldering profile.
