40 Pin 2.54mm Straight SIL 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 SIL Pin Header. This SIL Header, which is essentially just a row of pre-mounted connectors, makes connecting multiple points in a single row 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 SIL header is 40 pins long, arranged in a single row 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 PCB and SIL headers to make your life easier, but are looking for Right Angle headers or other types of PCB and SIL Pin Headers, be sure to take a look at our Headers/Sockets Category, which includes standard PCB headers or various types, as well as more unique socket systems like ZIF Sockets.
