2x20 Socket Riser Header for Raspberry Pi HATs and Bonnets

This 2×20 female socket riser header features slightly longer-than-standard pins, adding extra height between your Raspberry Pi and any HAT, Bonnet, or pHAT mounted on top. This additional clearance helps boards clear taller components on the Pi or fit more neatly into cases.
The header body is a standard 8.5 mm with 6 mm tall pins that plug securely into the Pi's GPIO header.
Key Features
- 40-Pin (2×20) – Matches the Raspberry Pi 40-pin GPIO layout
- 6 mm Extended Pins – Extra height for component clearance
- 8.5 mm Header Body – Standard socket dimensions
- Pass-Through Design – Plug into Pi, mount HAT/Bonnet on top
Ideal For
- Bonnets with slim headers that need extra clearance over Pi components
- Fitting HATs and Bonnets into cases with tight tolerances
- Adding height between stacked boards
Package Contents
- 1× 2×20 socket riser header
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- 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.
- pHAT
- A smaller add-on board format for Raspberry Pi, similar in idea to a HAT but usually not full-sized. It matters because pHAT compatibility can affect how neatly a board stacks or fits into a Raspberry Pi project.
