The 0.100″ (2.54 mm) 1×8-Pin Right-Angle Female Header provides a reliable perpendicular connection point for standard 0.1″ pitch male headers. Its right-angle orientation is ideal for low-profile builds or board-edge connections where vertical clearance is limited.
This single-row, 8-pin socket header is well suited for interfacing with SPI buses, display modules, sensor breakouts, and other peripherals that use an 8-pin header arrangement.
Key Features
- 0.1″ (2.54 mm) Pitch – Industry-standard spacing compatible with breadboards and perfboard
- Right-Angle Orientation – Mounts parallel to the PCB for low-profile or edge connections
- 1×8-Pin Configuration – Single-row, 8-position socket
- Through-Hole Mounting – Solders directly to standard PCBs
Ideal For
- SPI and display module connections
- Sensor and peripheral breakout boards
- Low-profile enclosure builds
- Prototyping and custom wiring harnesses
Package Contents
- 1× 0.100″ (2.54 mm) 1×8-Pin Right-Angle Female Header
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- Headers
- Rows of connector contacts on a fixed pitch (commonly 2.54 mm) used to link a board to a breadboard, jumper wires, or another board. They come as male pin headers and female socket headers; when a module ships with pre-soldered headers it can be used straight away, whereas bare pads require soldering the pins yourself.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
- SPI
- A fast serial communication bus often used for displays, memory cards, and sensors. It matters because SPI devices need specific pins for clock and data, plus a separate chip-select line for each device.
- through-hole
- A mounting style where the component leads pass through holes in a circuit board and are soldered on the other side. Through-hole parts are often easier to handle and solder by hand, which is useful for classroom and hobby projects.
