The 0.100″ (2.54 mm) 2×6-Pin Straight Female Header is a double-row, 12-pin socket strip designed to mate with standard 0.1″ pitch male headers. Its 2×6 layout provides a compact, medium-density connection suitable for a variety of embedded applications.
A 12-pin dual-row configuration is commonly used for motor driver interfaces, audio codec connections, and custom breakout boards that need more pins than a single row can efficiently provide.
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
- 2×6-Pin Configuration – Double-row, 12-position socket
- Through-Hole Mounting – Solders directly to standard PCBs
Ideal For
- Motor driver and control interfaces
- Audio and communication module connections
- Custom breakout boards
- Prototyping and board-to-board interconnects
Package Contents
- 1× 0.100″ (2.54 mm) 2×6-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.
- motor driver
- An electronic circuit that lets a low-power controller switch and control a motor that needs more current than the controller pins can safely provide. Checking motor driver support matters because pumps and motors usually cannot be connected directly to a microcontroller output.
- 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.
