SMT GPIO Header for Raspberry Pi HAT - 2x20 Short Female Header

A custom-made 2×20 short female header designed for surface-mount (SMT) Raspberry Pi HAT designs. This header provides the slimmest possible profile when you need a low-clearance connection between your HAT and a Raspberry Pi.

While it requires SMT soldering skills (more challenging than standard through-hole headers), the result is a sleek, compact stack that's ideal for space-constrained enclosures and production-quality HAT builds.

Key Features

• 2×20 Pin Configuration – Matches the full 40-pin Raspberry Pi GPIO header
• Short Profile – Minimises the gap between HAT and Pi for ultra-slim builds
• Surface Mount (SMT) – Solders directly to the PCB surface for a compact form factor
• Raspberry Pi HAT Compatible – Works with Pi A+, B+, Pi 2, Pi 3, and later models

Ideal For

• Custom Raspberry Pi HAT PCB designs
• Low-profile enclosure builds where clearance is limited
• Production-quality HAT assemblies
• SMT prototyping and small-batch manufacturing
