Female Pin Headers (2.54mm Pitch)

Female Pin Headers (2.54 mm Pitch) – Connectors
These low‑profile, 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch female pin headers provide a reliable, reusable interface for prototyping and assembling electronic circuits. Each header consists of a row (or double‑row) of molded‑in‑place plastic housings with gold‑plated contacts that accept standard male pins, making it perfect for breadboards, Arduino shields, Raspberry Pi hats, and custom PCBs. They come in a variety of pin counts (2 – 40) and configurations (straight or right‑angle) so students can choose the exact fit for any project.

Using these headers, students will learn how to create modular, plug‑and‑play connections, practice proper soldering techniques, and understand signal integrity versus mechanical stress. The hands‑on experience reinforces concepts in circuit design, data communication, and mechanical engineering, while also introducing best practices for component documentation and version control in collaborative STEAM projects.

Key features: 2.54 mm standard pitch, high‑temperature‑rated (up to 260 °C) solder‑type, gold‑plated contacts for low resistance and corrosion resistance, CNC‑machined tolerances for consistent alignment, and a compact, stackable form factor. Because the headers are reusable and compatible with a wide range of educational kits, they enable rapid iteration, reduce waste, and keep project costs low, making them an essential, future‑proof connector for any STEAM classroom or maker‑space.
