Male Header Pins Connectors
KSh 30.00
Header pins, also known simply as headers or pin headers, are common electronic components used in various applications to create electrical connections between different components or devices. They consist of a row of metal pins encased in a plastic or insulating housing.

- Male Headers: Male headers have pins that protrude from the housing. They are designed to be inserted into female connectors or sockets, such as those on microcontrollers, development boards, or sensors.
- Female Headers: Female headers have receptacles or sockets that accept male pins. They are often used on PCBs (printed circuit boards) or as connectors for interfacing with other components.
- Right-Angle Headers: Right-angle headers have pins that are bent at a 90-degree angle. They are useful for creating connections on PCBs where space constraints or specific orientations are a concern.
- Surface-Mount Headers: Surface-mount headers are designed to be soldered directly onto the surface of a PCB, eliminating the need for holes. They are commonly used in SMD (surface-mount device) applications.
- Number of Pins: Header pins come in various configurations with different numbers of pins. Common configurations include single-row headers with 1×2, 1×4, 1×6 pins and double-row headers with 2×4, 2×6, or 2×10 pins, among others. The number of pins depends on the specific application and the components being connected.
- Spacing and Pitch: The spacing between adjacent pins is referred to as the “pitch.” Common pitch values for header pins include 0.1 inches (2.54 mm) and 0.05 inches (1.27 mm). The 0.1-inch pitch is the most common and is often used in breadboards and standard PCBs.
- Uses:
- Interfacing Components: Header pins are frequently used to connect microcontrollers (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi), sensors, displays, and other electronic components to PCBs or other devices.
- Programming and Debugging: They are used to create programming and debugging connections between microcontrollers and programming tools, such as JTAG or SWD interfaces.
- Prototyping: In prototyping, header pins are used on development boards, allowing users to connect jumper wires or other components to create and test circuits.
- Assembly: Header pins are typically soldered onto PCBs or components to establish secure and reliable electrical connections. They are often used with through-hole components but can also be surface-mounted in SMD applications.
- Gender Terminology: It’s important to note that the terms “male” and “female” are used to describe the pin configuration, not the gender of individuals. “Male” headers have pins, while “female” headers have receptacles
