These headers are particularly cute and tiny with a body height of just 5.0 mm they are the best way to minimize the amount of space your ItsyBitsy project takes up, but still maintain that flexible configuration. "Normal" socket headers have an 8.5mm body height so this saves you a whole 3.5mm (hey it adds up!) For ultimate skinniness, match these up with equally short male headers. You can use common 8.5mm-long male headers but to get them to sit flush you may need to cut the pins down by a few mm, so just be aware of that!
Note: Kit includes two 14-pin and one 5-pin header. ItsyBitsy not included. Doesn't come with the matching male headers, you'll want a set of those too!
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 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.
