Male Header

Male headers are versatile connectors used in a wide range of electronic applications for creating pluggable connections between PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) and other components. These headers consist of a row (or rows) of pins that can be easily soldered onto a PCB, providing a reliable and reusable connection point for various electronic modules and wires.

Key Features:

• Available in various pin configurations (single, double, triple row, etc.)
• Standard 2.54mm (0.1 inch) pin pitch
• Compatible with solderless breadboards and female headers
• Gold-plated or tin-plated pins for improved conductivity and durability
• Suitable for both through-hole and surface mount applications

Technical Specifications:

• Pin Configuration: Single row, double row, etc. (varies by product)
• Pin Pitch: 2.54mm (0.1 inch)
• Pin Length: Typically 6mm to 12mm (varies by product)
• Pin Material: Brass with gold or tin plating
• Insulator Material: Plastic (typically black)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +105°C (varies by product)
• Current Rating: Typically up to 3A per pin (varies by product)

Applications:

• PCB interconnections
• Prototyping and breadboarding
• Modular electronics projects
• Embedded systems
• Connector interfaces for sensors, displays, and other peripherals

Usage:

1. Select the appropriate male header configuration for your application (single row, double row, etc.).
2. Solder the male header onto the PCB, ensuring proper alignment with the corresponding holes or pads.
3. Insert the male header pins into a matching female header, breadboard, or connector to create a secure electrical connection.
4. Ensure all connections are firm and stable before powering the circuit.

Caution:

• Verify the pin pitch and configuration to match the corresponding connectors or headers.
• Handle the pins carefully to avoid bending or damage during installation.
• Ensure proper soldering techniques to maintain reliable connections and prevent shorts.
