The 0.100″ (2.54 mm) 2×8-Pin Straight Female Header is a double-row, 16-pin socket strip designed to mate with standard 0.1″ pitch male headers. The 2×8 layout is a versatile medium-density connector used across a wide range of embedded and prototyping applications.
A 16-pin dual-row configuration is commonly used for LCD module interfaces, wider bus connections, and custom breakout boards that need a balance of pin count and compact size.
Key Features
- 0.1″ (2.54 mm) Pitch – Industry-standard spacing compatible with perfboard and PCBs
- Straight Orientation – Mounts perpendicular to the PCB for standard vertical connections
- 2×8-Pin Configuration – Double-row, 16-position socket
- Through-Hole Mounting – Solders directly to standard PCBs
Ideal For
- LCD and display module interfaces
- Wide bus and data connections
- Custom breakout boards
- Prototyping and board-to-board interconnects
Package Contents
- 1× 0.100″ (2.54 mm) 2×8-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.
- LCD
- LCD stands for liquid crystal display, a screen technology that uses a backlight and liquid crystals to show images or text. It matters because LCD modules usually need a display driver and enough controller pins or a bus interface to send image data.
- 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.
