40 Pin 2.54mm Straight DIL Pin Header - Male

Electronics can be one of the most exciting hobbies available to Makers, but every now and then you need Components that aren’t super-fancy or advanced, such as this simple 40 Pin 2.54mm Straight Male DIL Pin Header. This DIL Header, which is essentially just two rows of pre-mounted connectors, makes connecting multiple ports as easy as possible, featuring a through-hole design with solder tails so that it can be integrated directly onto a PCB, or can be fitted onto Connectors, Wiring and even standard PCB ports in order to make your life as an Electronics Maker more convenient.

This DIL header is 40 pins long, arranged in two rows with square pegs, which is ideal for wire-to-board and board-to-board applications, with the option for users to breakaway any number of pins from the original strip. This makes it ideal for projects like making your own Arduino Shields, or creating breakout boards that you don’t want to permanently solder to main boards, as it allows you to solder the pin header onto the breakout board or shield, and then plug it directly into a development platform like an Arduino or Raspberry Pi SBC.

If you love to work with headers to make your life easier, but are looking for other types of PCB, SIL and DIL Pin Headers, be sure to take a look at our Headers/Sockets Category, which includes headers or various types, as well as more unique socket systems like ZIF Sockets.
