A breakaway strip of 36 press-fit male pin headers at standard 2.54mm (0.1") pitch. These headers can be attached to PCBs without soldering — press them firmly into place using pliers for a friction-fit connection that holds securely for prototyping and testing.
Snap or cut off the length you need from the 36-pin strip. Once pressed in, the headers can be soldered permanently later or pulled out one-by-one when no longer needed.
Key Features
- No Soldering Required – Press-fit design attaches to PCB through-holes using pliers
- 2.54mm (0.1") Pitch – Standard spacing, compatible with breadboards and standard headers
- Breakaway Strip – 36 pins, snap or cut to the length you need
- Removable or Permanent – Pull pins out later, or solder them in place for a permanent connection
Ideal For
- Quick prototyping without a soldering iron
- Temporary header connections for testing
- Adding headers to boards when soldering isn't practical
Package Contents
- 1× Breakaway press-fit male pin header strip (36 pins)
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 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.
