Header Pins
makerHeader pins are conductive metal rods used for interconnecting circuit boards or electronic components.
expanded
Header pins are essential components in electronic manufacturing, functioning as connectors that facilitate communication between circuit boards or modules. Typically organized into rows and available in various pin lengths, these pins provide a reliable and secure connection, making them crucial for prototyping and assembly in electronics.
examples
A 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) pitch dual-row header pin effectively connects an Arduino Uno to a custom shield.
Commonly used in prototyping situations where a developer is stacking modules or breakout boards onto a microcontroller for testing applications.
A single-row header pin strip with a 2.54 mm pitch connects an LCD display module to a Raspberry Pi GPIO.
Helps in creating a direct interface between output or display devices and single-board computers for educational or IoT projects.
