Stacking headers combine a female socket on top with extended male pins on the bottom, allowing you to stack multiple PCBs on top of each other. Solder the long pins through a board, then plug another board's female headers onto the pins below while connecting yet another board into the sockets above.
This pack of five 36-pin stacking headers gives you the flexibility to add stackability to custom boards, breakouts, or any project where you need to layer PCBs. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable connections that resist oxidation.
Key Features
- Stacking Design – Female socket on top, extended male pins on the bottom for multi-board stacking
- 36-Pin Length – Easily cut down to any size you need
- 0.1" (2.54mm) Pitch – Standard spacing compatible with most development and breakout boards
- Gold-Plated Contacts – Resists oxidation for dependable connections
- Versatile – Works with breadboards, perfboards, and shield-style stacking
Ideal For
- Stacking custom PCBs or breakout boards
- Adding stackability to boards that don't have a dedicated stacking header kit
- Prototyping multi-board assemblies
Package Contents
- 5× 36-pin stacking 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.
- 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.
