Pin Headers

Pin headers are a type of connector that consists of a row of protruding pins that can be inserted into a matching socket or hole on a circuit board. These connectors are commonly used in electronic circuits to provide a means of connecting two or more components together. Pin headers are available in a variety of configurations, including single-row, double-row, and multi-row arrangements. They can also have different numbers of pins, ranging from as few as two to as many as several hundred. Pin headers are typically made from plastic or metal, and the pins are typically made from brass or another conductive material. The pins are typically spaced at a standard pitch, such as 2.54 mm or 0.1 inch, to allow them to be used with standard circuit board holes or sockets. Pin headers are used in a wide range of electronic devices, including computers, appliances, and consumer electronics. They are commonly used in conjunction with ribbon cables or other types of connectors to form a complete connection between two circuit boards or components.
