These two Female Stacking Headers alone are, well, lonely. But pair them with any of our Feather boards and you're in business! What do they do? They stack. Put the headers through your Feather and then you can not only plug them into a solderless breadboard, but you could attach circuitry on top as well Note : Comes with one 12-pin and one 16-pin header, Feathers not included

XBees are so cute and tiny but if you're using them in a circuit you'll be annoyed to find that your classic 0.1" headers don't fit them! That's because they use 2mm spacing instead of 2.54mm spacing. That's why you need special sockets like these ones! As of Tuesday, June 16th, 2015 we are selling two sockets together instead of just one! These sockets have 10 pins, spaced 2mm apart. Check the...

These two  Female Headers  alone are, well, lonely. But pair them with any of our Feather boards and you're in business! What do they do? They get soldered on either side of the Feather board. Now you can plug in FeatherWings to add more capability to your portable project. Unlike our Feather Stacking Headers, they aren't designed to 'stack', but they're more compact. Note: Comes with one 12-pin and...

If we could eat headers, we'd have them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  But we can't :( So we're making the best of it and selling them! This 2x20-pin strip male header is a great way to add pins to 2x20 0.1" holes in a PCB.  They're also perfect companion piece to our 2x20-pin right-angle female header.

These two  Short   Female Headers  alone are, well, lonely. But pair them with any of our Feather boards and you're in business! These headers are particularly cute and tiny with a body height of just 5.0 mm they are the best way to minimize the amount of space your Feather project takes up, but still maintain that flexible configuration. "Normal" socket headers have an 8.5mm body height so this...

Give yourself a lift with this 2x20 female socket header that has slightly longer than usual pins . You can plug this into your Raspberry Pi GPIO port and then plug a HAT or Bonnet or Phat on top. Especially useful for Bonnets that have slim headers on the bottom, but you want them to clear some of the components on the Pi, or fit into a case nicer. The header body is a standard 8.5mm. The pins are 6mm tall, so they're securely plug...

Breakaway header is like the duct tape of electronics, and this header is one better with extra long pins on both sides. This makes it great for connecting things together that have two sockets - especially solderless breadboards. We also use these with our female-female socket jumpers to create female-male and male-male jumpers! Each pack contains 5 x 16-pin long headers, 0.1" pitch, that can be stacked next to each other on a 0.1"...

This is a connector that fits directly to the edge contacts of a BBC micro:bit. The connector has 80 pins, but because of the different widths of the micro:bit edge contacts, some of the micro:bit contacts will map to more than one of this connector's pins. Also, the back half of the pins are not used at all. The edge connector gives access to all the important pins on the bottom edge of the micro:bit. Check the datasheet for the pin...

Headers are like the duct tape of electronics. They're great for connecting things together, soldering to perf-boards, sockets for wires or break-away header, etc. We go through these guys real fast, and thought that given how handy they are, we'd offer them in a pack of five! Stacking headers are a twist on the standard/common male and female header sets. In this case you have one header that has a socket on one end, and a long...

If your soldering isn't quite up to scratch, or you just don't own a soldering iron yet, then these nifty hammer headers  from Pimoroni might be just what you need.  Absolutely no soldering required! All that's needed is a few gentle taps with a hammer and whammo! Your header is securely attached to your Pi Zero, Bonnet, HAT or pHAT. Make sure to carefully read Pimoroni's guide for fitting hammer headers. The...

This little 2x5 (10 pin - 0.1 spaced) IDC Breadboard Helper is great in conjunction with any of our 10-pin IDC cables. It comes in two parts, a 'pin-through' socket and a male header. The socket straddles the center of a breadboard or Perma-Proto and then header plugs into the top of the socket. Since IDC cables are so standard, but a royal pain to use with breadboards, this is a good and cheap hack for...

We've carrying a new 1.27mm pitch 2x5  Mini SWD 0.05" Pitch Connector . It's a tinier, bite-sized version of the Box Header used on our SWD Cable Breakout Board. Instead of a full shroud, there's a half-shroud with a key-notch. It'll takes a lot less space on your board! The header alone is great if you want to incorporate this piece of hardware with your own software. We're specifically selling it so...

Three rows in a right angle header!? Yes! These chunks of 0.1" header has yet-another-row - handy for when you want to connect cables that come in sets of three, like perhaps sensors, or servos. These plug into any standard 0.1" spacing perf-boards or other PCBs and work nicely with our female-ended wire sets. Comes in a set of four pieces, each piece is 3 rows by 4 rows. You can stack these next to each other in any direction. We...

The "poor woman's" Raspberry Pi A+ / B+ / Pi 2 cobbler! This combo of 2x20 pin (0.1 spaced) header and socket is for our popular GPIO Ribbon Cable for Raspberry Pi Model A+/B+/Pi 2 (40 pins).  It comes in two parts, a 'pin-through' socket and a male header. The socket straddles the center of a  breadboard or  Perma-Proto and then header plugs into the top of the socket. Since IDC cables are so...

Never get frustrated with 2mm-pitch modules again! Each one of these 40-pin break-apart header packs contains 5 pieces of 40-pin, 2mm pitch headers. Great for when you need to connect to something with 2mm pitch. Stack these headers side by side or break them apart to receive your desired length. They are even gold plated to ensure longevity without oxidation.

If we could eat headers we'd have them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  But we can't :( So we're making the best of it and selling them! This 2x20-pin strip, right-angle female header is a perfect companion piece to our 2x20-pin Dual Male Header.  It's a great way to add right-angle capability to a 2x20 pin circuit board either by attaching the right-angle male headers to the board and having a right-angle female...

This 1.27mm pitch, 2x5 male SMT Box Header is the same one used on our SWD Cable Breakout Board. The header alone is great if you want to incorporate this piece of hardware with your own software. We're specifically selling it so you can solder it onto our nRF52 Feather to add SWD debug/connect capabilities. You could also straighten out the SMT pins to solder into a thru-hole connector. This little guy will snap right into any 10-pin...

These three  Short   Male Headers  alone are, well, lonely. But pair them with our ItsyBitsy boards, and you're in business! These headers are particularly cute and tiny and are designed to match perfectly with our shorty female header kit for ItsyBitsy. Note that you could use normal header with those headers, but these are short and don't need clipping.  Note: Kit includes two 14-pin and one 5-pin header....

If your soldering isn't quite up to scratch, or you just don't own a soldering iron yet, then these nifty hammer headers  from Pimoroni might be just what you need. They come in both male and female, and use crafty little retaining nubbins to grip tightly into the holes on the PCB. Absolutely no soldering required! All that's needed is a few gentle taps with a hammer and bazinga! Your header is securely attached to...

If you want to do more with the BBC micro:bit, getting those pins from the card-edge connector is going to be your first hurdle. Unlike many dev-boards, the micro:bit isn't breadboard friendly. That makes the 'bit durable and easy to manufacture but means you need a special connector. This surface-mount edge connector is designed specifically for the micro:bit. It's very slim and fully SMT so its a breeze to automate. It also only...
