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.

Key Features

  • 20-Pin Female Header – Standard 0.1" (2.54mm) pitch
  • Red Housing – Coloured plastic for visual distinction
  • Cuttable – Trim to any size with diagonal cutters
  • Pack of 5 – Plenty of headers for multiple projects

Ideal For

  • Soldering sockets onto perfboard and PCBs
  • Creating breakout board connections
  • Arduino and Raspberry Pi shield headers
  • 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.
