Description
These are 1×40 single row extra tall stackable female / male headers with gold contacts.
PACKAGE INCLUDES:
- Qty 1 – Header Stackable 1×40 Gold
KEY FEATURES OF HEADER STACKABLE 1X40 GOLD:
- 1×40 Female header with standard 2.54mm (0.1″) spacing
- 11mm long male pins for stacking into another female header
- Gold plated contacts
The male pins are designed to be soldered into a PCB with the pins extending through the PCB for mating with another female header below it.
The female header side mates with standard length male headers that are approximately 6mm long. The female side overall height is 11mm tall which is taller than the standard 8mm female headers and provides more clearance for top-side components.
These are commonly used for making Arduino Shields or other applications where it is desired to allow 2 or more PCBs to be stacked on top of each other with these connectors providing vertical electrical connections between the assemblies.
When soldering these connectors onto a board, it is sometimes easiest if you insert the female connectors into male headers stuck into a solderless breadboard or similar in order to hold the connectors aligned during the soldering process.
Notes:
- These strips can be cut into shorter lengths if needed using diagonal cutters or dremel wheel, but at least one pin will be lost in the process.
- The housing is 11mm tall. Some smaller versions of these connectors are 8mm tall so take that into consideration if mixing connector types.
