About Pin Headers

Pin headers are male connectors with one or two rows of square or round pins, used to mate with sockets, IDC ribbons, or PCB board-to-board links. Common configurations include single-row, dual-row, shrouded, right-angle, surface-mount, and breakaway (cuttable) styles in 1.0 mm, 1.27 mm, 2.0 mm, and 2.54 mm pitches.
