A short-profile 2×20 female through-hole header for connecting Raspberry Pi HATs with minimal height above the board. This custom header provides a slimmer fit than standard-height GPIO headers, ideal for compact enclosures and low-profile builds.
Compatible with any Raspberry Pi model featuring the 40-pin GPIO header, including the A+, B+, Pi 2, Pi 3, Pi 4, and Pi 5.
Key Features
- Short Profile – Lower height than standard GPIO headers for slim HAT connections
- 2×20 Pin (40-Pin) – Matches the Raspberry Pi 40-pin GPIO layout
- Through-Hole – Solder directly to your HAT PCB
Ideal For
- Custom Raspberry Pi HAT designs requiring a slim profile
- Low-profile enclosures and compact builds
- Through-hole HAT prototyping
Package Contents
- 1× 2×20 short female header (through-hole)
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- 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.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
- through-hole
- A mounting style where the component leads pass through holes in a circuit board and are soldered on the other side. Through-hole parts are often easier to handle and solder by hand, which is useful for classroom and hobby projects.
