Pin Header

About

Pin headers are the fundamental building blocks of PCB interconnection, providing reliable, solderable contact points for wire-to-board and board-to-board connections. Available in single-row and double-row configurations, straight and right-angle orientations, and male and female variants, pin headers are universally compatible with breadboards, Arduino shields, Raspberry Pi HATs, and custom PCB designs. Key specifications to consider when selecting pin headers: Pitch — 2.54mm (0.1") is the most common, matching standard breadboard spacing; 2.0mm and 1.27mm options available for compact designs Row configuration — single-row (1x) for simple connections, double-row (2x) for higher pin-count interfaces Orientation — straight (vertical) for standard PCB mounting; right-angle for edge connectors and panel interfaces Breakable strips — 40-pin strips that can be snapped to any required pin count, offering maximum flexibility for prototyping Male vs Female — male headers for PCB mounting; female headers for socket connections and stackable shield designs Our pin header range covers 2.54mm single and double row straight and right-angle male and female headers, ideal for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and general PCB prototyping applications.
