This 2×20-pin right-angle female header with 0.1" (2.54mm) pitch provides a convenient way to add right-angle connectivity to circuit boards with dual-row 40-pin headers. It mates with standard 2×20 dual male headers for easy board-to-board or board-to-cable connections.
The right-angle orientation is useful when vertical clearance is limited or when you need to route connections parallel to the PCB surface, making it a practical choice for Raspberry Pi GPIO and similar 40-pin interfaces.
Key Features
- 2×20-Pin (40 pins total) – Matches standard 40-pin dual-row headers
- Right-Angle Orientation – Routes connections parallel to the board surface
- 0.1" (2.54mm) Pitch – Industry-standard spacing for broad compatibility
- Female Contacts – Mates with standard male header pins
Ideal For
- Raspberry Pi GPIO connections in low-clearance enclosures
- Board-to-board connections requiring right-angle orientation
- Prototyping with 40-pin dual-row interfaces
Package Contents
- 1× 2×20-pin right-angle female header
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- Headers
- Rows of metal pins used to plug a module into a breadboard or connect it with jumper wires. Pre-soldered headers make the module easier to use straight away without needing to solder the pins yourself.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
