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 is a small circuit board that makes a tiny or hard-to-solder component easier to connect to with standard pins. It matters because this OLED module can be wired into a microcontroller project without needing to solder directly to the display’s fine contacts.
- 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.
- 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.
