The 0.100″ (2.54 mm) 2×5-Pin Straight Female Header is a double-row, 10-pin socket strip designed to mate with standard 0.1″ pitch male headers. The 2×5 configuration is one of the most widely used dual-row sizes, matching standard 10-pin ribbon cable connectors and programming headers.
This pin count is commonly found on AVR ISP 10-pin programming headers, JTAG interfaces, and SWD debug connections, making it a staple connector for embedded development.
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
- 2×5-Pin Configuration – Double-row, 10-position socket matching standard ribbon cable connectors
- Through-Hole Mounting – Solders directly to standard PCBs
Ideal For
- AVR ISP 10-pin programming headers
- JTAG and SWD debug interfaces
- 10-pin ribbon cable connections
- Prototyping and custom interconnects
Package Contents
- 1× 0.100″ (2.54 mm) 2×5-Pin Straight Female Header
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- AVR
- AVR is a family of 8-bit microcontrollers (made by Microchip, formerly Atmel) used in many classic Arduino-style boards such as the Uno and Nano. They are widely supported but older, which can be a limit for memory- or speed-intensive tasks.
- 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.
- ISP
- In electronics, ISP usually means In-System Programming, a way to load firmware onto a microcontroller while it stays on the board (often via an ICSP header), or an Image Signal Processor, hardware that turns raw camera sensor data into usable images and offloads the main CPU. The surrounding context shows which meaning applies.
- JTAG
- JTAG is a hardware debugging and programming interface used to inspect and control chips at a low level. It matters for advanced development because it can help diagnose firmware problems that are hard to see through normal serial output.
- 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.
- SWD
- Serial Wire Debug (SWD) is a two-wire programming and debugging interface used with many ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers. It provides low-level access to program, recover or debug the microcontroller.
- 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.
