Female headers are one of the most versatile components in electronics — perfect for connecting things together, soldering to perfboards, creating sockets for wires, or pairing with break-away male header strips. This pack of five gives you plenty to work with.
Each header is 36 pins long with standard 0.1" (2.54mm) pitch, compatible with square-pin male headers found on development boards like the Arduino. The gold-plated contacts resist oxidation for reliable, long-lasting connections.
Key Features
- 36-Pin Length – Easily cut down to any size you need
- 0.1" (2.54mm) Pitch – Standard spacing compatible with most development boards and breakout boards
- Gold-Plated Contacts – Resists oxidation for dependable connections
- Cuttable – Pull the next pin with pliers, then cut through the empty slot with diagonal cutters
Ideal For
- Prototyping on perfboard and breadboard projects
- Creating sockets for microcontroller pins or breakout boards
- General-purpose wiring and connector needs
Package Contents
- 5× 36-pin female headers (0.1" pitch)
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.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
