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)
Tip: To cut to size, count the number of pins you need, pull out the next pin with pliers, then cut through the empty position with diagonal cutters. Clean up the edge with a file if needed.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

breakout
A breakout is a small circuit board that makes a tiny or hard-to-solder component easier to connect to with standard pins. It matters because this OLED module can be wired into a microcontroller project without needing to solder directly to the display’s fine contacts.
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.
