A 40-pin single-row straight male header strip with standard 0.1" (2.54mm) pitch. Snap or cut the strip to any length you need — ideal for soldering onto PCBs, breakout boards, and prototyping projects.
Key Features
- 40 Pins – Single row, snap apart to any length
- 0.1" (2.54mm) Pitch – Standard spacing compatible with breadboards, perfboard, and most PCB footprints
- Straight Orientation – Pins extend perpendicular to the PCB
- Through-Hole Solder – Standard male pin headers for soldering into PCB holes
Ideal For
- Adding connectors to breakout boards and modules
- Breadboard-compatible headers for prototyping
- Custom PCB assembly
- Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and microcontroller projects
Package Contents
- 1× 40-pin straight male header strip
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.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
