8 Pin Female header pin (2.5mm)
KSh 10.00
An 8-pin female header is a common type of electrical connector used to interface various electronic components. It consists of eight individual female pins arranged in a single row, typically with a spacing of 2.54mm (0.1 inches) between each pin. These pins are designed to accept male header pins or wires with male connectors, allowing for easy and reliable connections.
Key Specifications:
* Number of Pins: 8
* Pin Spacing: 2.54mm (0.1 inches)
* Orientation: Straight or right-angle
* Material: Plastic housing, metal contacts
* Contact Plating: Gold or tin
* Current Rating: Varies depending on the specific header, typically 1-3 amps per pin
* Voltage Rating: Varies depending on the specific header, typically 50-250 volts
Common Applications:
* Connecting Arduino boards to shields
* Interfacing microcontrollers with sensors and actuators
* Creating custom cables and adapters
* Wiring breadboards and prototyping projects
Additional Notes:
* Female headers are often sold in strips that can be easily cut to the desired length.
* They can be soldered directly to circuit boards or used with sockets for easy plug-in connections.
* Right-angle headers are useful for space-saving applications where straight headers might not fit.
* Always ensure that the current and voltage ratings of the header are suitable for the intended application.
