The 0.100″ (2.54 mm) 1×8-Pin Straight Female Header provides a reliable vertical connection point for standard 0.1″ pitch male headers. This single-row socket strip is one of the most common connectors used in electronics prototyping and PCB design.
With eight pins in a straight-through configuration, this header is well suited for SPI bus connections, display modules, sensor breakouts, and other peripherals that use an 8-pin interface.
Key Features
- 0.1″ (2.54 mm) Pitch – Industry-standard spacing compatible with breadboards and perfboard
- Straight Orientation – Mounts perpendicular to the PCB for standard vertical 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
- Breadboard and perfboard prototyping
- Custom wiring harnesses and interconnects
Package Contents
- 1× 0.100″ (2.54 mm) 1×8-Pin Straight 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.
