Snap them to your required length and build modular, reliable electronics for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or engineering projects.
Key Features
Key Features
- Universal 2.54mm (0.1") Pitch: Ensures 100% compatibility with standard breadboards, perfboards, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi HATs.
- Snap-to-Length Housing: Easily break the male headers into smaller segments to perfectly match your module's required pin count.
- Heat-Resistant Plastic Base: Withstands high soldering temperatures, preventing pin misalignment during assembly.
- Multiple Orientations Available: Choose between straight or right-angle pins to optimize cable routing and save space in tight enclosures.
- Anti-Oxidation Coating: Provides excellent electrical conductivity and prevents rust, ensuring a stable signal transmission over time.

The Foundation of Reliable DIY Electronics
Every great electronic project starts with a solid connection. There is nothing more frustrating than spending hours coding and wiring a prototype, only to find that a loose jumper wire is causing sensor read errors.
Our 2.54mm pitch pin headers and female sockets are the industry-standard solution for bridging the gap between temporary breadboard prototypes and permanent PCB soldering. Designed for maximum conductivity and mechanical stability, these connectors ensure your signals flow without interruption.
Versatile Options for Every Circuit Design
Whether you are a hobbyist building a smart home gadget or an engineer designing a complex multi-layer PCB, flexibility is key. We offer three distinct configurations to match your exact wiring topology:
- 2x40 Male Pin Headers (Dual Row): Ideal for high-density connections, data buses, or creating custom ribbons cable interfaces.
- 1x40 Female Header Sockets (Straight): The perfect receptacle for creating modular boards. Solder these to your mainboard so you can easily plug and unplug microcontrollers like Arduino Nano or external sensor modules without desoldering.
- 1x40 Right Angle Male Headers: Perfect for low-profile enclosures or routing cables parallel to the board, preventing wire strain and keeping your project visually clean.
Snap-to-Size Customization
You rarely need exactly 40 pins. Our male pin headers are manufactured with pre-scored plastic housings. This means you can easily snap them to any custom length—be it 4 pins for an I2C OLED display or 16 pins for an LCD screen—using just your fingers or a pair of flush cutters. The female sockets can also be cut to size using a hobby knife and pliers, ensuring you never waste materials.
Built for STEM, Prototyping, and Production
We understand that component quality matters. These headers feature durable thermoplastic housings that withstand standard soldering iron temperatures without melting or deforming. The metal contacts are treated to resist oxidation, ensuring long-term reliability whether the device sits in a classroom for a STEM curriculum or operates in an industrial environment. Stop compromising your hardware with subpar connectors and build with confidence.

FAQ Section
FAQ Section
Q: How do I cleanly cut the female header sockets to size?
A: Unlike male headers, female sockets aren't designed to snap easily. To cut them cleanly, pull out the metal pin at the exact breaking point with pliers, then use a craft knife or flush cutters to slice through the empty plastic slot.
Q: Are these compatible with standard breadboards?
A: Yes. The 2.54mm (0.1") pitch is the universal standard for solderless breadboards, perfboards, and jumper wires.
Q: Can I use the right-angle headers for Raspberry Pi GPIO pins?
A: Absolutely. Soldering right-angle headers to a Raspberry Pi Zero or a custom HAT allows you to route jumper cables sideways, which is incredibly useful for slim cases and compact builds.
