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 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.
- 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.
