Short female headers designed for tight spaces where standard-height headers won't fit. At just 5mm tall (compared to the standard 8mm), these low-profile headers are ideal for compact builds and slim assemblies.
Each header strip is 36 pins long with standard 0.1" (2.54mm) pitch, compatible with most development boards, breakout boards, and perfboards. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable connections that resist oxidation over time.
Key Features
- Low Profile – Only 5mm tall, compared to 8mm for standard female headers
- 36-Pin Length – Easily cut down to any size you need
- 0.1" (2.54mm) Pitch – Standard spacing for broad compatibility
- 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
- Low-profile builds where standard headers are too tall
- Pairing with short male headers for slim assemblies
- Prototyping on perfboard and breadboard projects
Package Contents
- 5× 36-pin short female headers (0.1" pitch, 5mm height)
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.
