40 Pin Female Header Strip 2.54mm Pitch

Female Header Strip Pins for Prototyping and Development

The Female Header Strip Pins are essential connectors for electronics prototyping, embedded design, and DIY projects. Designed with a standard 2.54mm pitch, these female headers provide secure, removable connections between sensors, modules, and development boards like Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

Key Benefits

• Reliable Connections: Precision-formed metal contacts ensure consistent electrical performance across many insertion cycles.
• Flexible Configuration: Supplied as 40-pin strips that can be cut or snapped to the required number of pins.
• Reusable: Ideal for testing and iterative development since modules and wires can be swapped without soldering.
• Optional Gold-Plated Contacts: Choose gold-plated variants where improved conductivity and corrosion resistance are required.

Specifications

• Pin Pitch: 2.54mm (0.1 inch)
• Standard Pin Length: Varies (typical body length 11mm)
• Strip Length: 40-pin strips (cuttable to any size)
• Housing Material: Durable plastic body
• Contacts: Metal contacts (gold-plated options available)
• Mounting Type: Through-hole for easy soldering to PCBs
• Compatible With: Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32 and most standard development platforms and breadboards

Common Applications

• Prototyping and Testing: Quickly connect and disconnect modules during development.
• Expansion and Interfaces: Create modular interfaces between sensors, shields, and main boards.
• DIY Electronics: Use in robotics, hobby projects, and custom PCBs where flexibility is needed.
• Education: Perfect for classroom kits and learning environments because of the plug-and-play nature.

How to Use and Install

Cutting to Size

Use diagonal cutters or a sharp blade to snap the 40-pin strip into smaller sections. Score and bend or use small snips for a clean break.

Soldering Tips

• Insert the header into the PCB and secure it with tape or a fixture to keep it straight while soldering.
• Use a temperature-controlled soldering iron and apply solder to each through-hole to form a reliable joint.
• For gold-plated contacts, avoid excessive heat to preserve plating integrity.

Why Choose These Female Header Strip Pins

These female headers combine standard compatibility, durability, and ease of use. Whether you need a low-cost solution for classroom prototyping or a higher-quality gold-plated option for long-term reliability, these strips deliver versatile performance for a wide range of electronic projects.

Ordering Options and Notes
