Frequently Asked Questions
What contact finish does the SL-116-G-12 use, and how does it influence mating cycle longevity?
The SL-116-G-12 uses gold (30 µin) over Nickel (50 µin) on the mating contacts, providing a hard, corrosion-resistant surface that sustains reliable electrical contact through hundreds of mating cycles. This finish keeps contact resistance stable below 30 milliohms across all 16 contacts in environments with temperature cycling and humidity.
How does the 2.54 mm pitch and 16-contact count of the SL-116-G-12 fit into standard board-to-board designs?
With a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch and 16 contacts, the SL-116-G-12 occupies a 1.609 inch body length that aligns with industry-standard DIP and header footprints. This makes it compatible with a wide range of mating header strips and plug connectors already defined in embedded processor and I/O expansion board layouts.
When should a designer choose through-hole mounting like the SL-116-G-12 instead of an SMT board connector?
Through-hole mounting on the SL-116-G-12 provides significantly higher mechanical pull-out strength compared to SMT pads, making it the preferred choice for connectors that experience repeated mating forces or mechanical stress. Applications like test jigs, field-replaceable modules, and industrial backplanes with 16-pin vertical receptacles benefit from the superior solder joint retention of through-hole termination.
What is the typical procurement lead time for the SL-116-G-12, and how should production planners account for it?
The factory lead time for the SL-116-G-12 is approximately 1 week, which is shorter than many specialty connector variants. Production planners ordering 16-contact SL series receptacles should still maintain a 2 to 3 week safety stock buffer to account for distributor processing time, inbound inspection, and line consumption fluctuations in high-volume assembly operations.
