A pack of five 20-pin female headers in red, with standard 0.1" (2.54mm) pitch. These are essential for connecting breakout boards, shields, and wires to perfboard and PCB projects. The red plastic housing adds a splash of colour to your builds.
Each header can be cut down to smaller sizes with diagonal cutters — simply snip between the pins to create the length you need.

- Breadboard-to-PCB transitions
Package Contents
- 5× 20-Pin 0.1" Female Header (Red)
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- 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.
- Shield
- An add-on board that plugs into a main controller board to give it extra features such as sensing, motor control or communication. Knowing a product supports shields helps you judge whether it can connect neatly into an existing maker-board setup.
