SL 16 SMD 157 16 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The SL 16 SMD 157 16 Z is a surface mount male header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a 2-row configuration with 16 positions and a 2.54 mm pitch. The contact material is CuSn-alloy, gold-plated with Ni+≥0.2µm Au. The connector supports a nominal current of 3 A and a nominal voltage defined in the datasheet. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +163°C. End pins are straight for positioning.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Surface mount design with straight end pins for precise PCB positioning
• Gold-plated CuSn-alloy contacts ensuring reliable electrical interconnection
• Two-row layout with 2.54 mm pitch for compact assembly integration

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Multilayer PCB interconnections requiring mechanical stability
• Compact electronic assemblies demanding precise electrical contacts
• SMD mounting applications in industrial or consumer electronics

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '16 Z' corresponds to the 16-position variant when ordering. Confirm that the gold plating specification (Ni+≥0.2µm Au) meets your corrosion resistance requirements. Ensure the surface mount footprint matches your PCB design guidelines. Check compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles up to 260°C for 10 seconds.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a two-row surface mount header with 16 positions is required. The 2.54 mm pitch is standard for general-purpose interconnects. Consider the 3 A nominal current rating for power distribution needs. The gold-plated contacts offer superior conductivity compared to tin-only options. Verify row spacing and overall dimensions against board space constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the SL 16 SMD series of male headers from Fischer Elektronik. The series offers various position counts, including 12, 26, 32, and 62 positions. All variants share the same 2.54 mm pitch and surface mount construction. The 'Z' suffix typically denotes specific plating or packaging configurations within the product line.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Fischer Elektronik SL 16 SMD variants with matching pin counts. Cross-brand replacements must match the 2.54 mm pitch, 2-row layout, and surface mount footprint. Verify that alternative components support similar current ratings and operating temperatures.
