Male stacking header

A male stacking header is a type of connector used to create electrical connections between circuit boards or other electronic components. It consists of a row of male pins that can be used to stack one PCB (Printed Circuit Board) on top of another, allowing for modular and expandable designs. This type of header is commonly used in prototyping and electronics projects to establish connections between different boards.

Key Features:

• Pin Type: Male pins
• Pin Spacing: Typically 2.54 mm (0.1 inch), but other spacings may be available
• Pin Count: Varies, commonly 2 to 40 pins or more
• Stacking: Allows multiple headers to be stacked for vertical connections
• Material: Usually made from brass or other conductive metals with a plastic insulator
• Mounting Type: Through-hole or surface-mount, depending on the design

Technical Specifications:

• Pin Spacing: 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) standard
• Pin Count: Varies (e.g., 2, 4, 10, 20, 40 pins)
• Pin Material: Brass or copper with gold or tin plating
• Insulator Material: Plastic (e.g., nylon)
• Temperature Rating: Typically up to 105°C
• Current Rating: Typically up to 1A per pin (depends on the specific header design)

Applications:

• Prototyping: Commonly used in breadboards and prototype boards for connecting components and creating modular designs.
• PCB Interconnection: Used to stack and interconnect multiple PCBs in a compact and organized manner.
• Embedded Systems: Ideal for creating connections in embedded systems and development boards.
• DIY Projects: Useful in various electronics projects where modular or expandable connections are required.
