Features

• Number of pieces: 10
• Type: Female Bent Pin Header
• Points per connector: 8 (1*8P)
• Spacing between contacts: 2.54mm

What it is for

Bent Pin Header connectors are used to connect printed circuit boards (PCB) and prototyping boards (breadboard). They are ideal for electronic projects, allowing for easy connection between various components. This type of connector is particularly useful when testing simple sensors such as photoresistors.

Tutorial: How to use Female Bent Pin Header

The bent pin header female connector is a fundamental component for the realization of electronic projects. It primarily serves to safely and efficiently connect printed circuit boards (PCB) or prototype boards (breadboard), allowing for easy connection between various components.

What you need

• 1*8P Bent Pin Header Female
• pin cutter
• circuit board/breadboard

Steps

1. Check the datasheet for the dimensions of the connector and the circuit board on which it is intended to be installed.
2. Cut the connector to the required number of points using a pin cutter.
3. Insert the connector manually or with a soldering iron into the PCB or breadboard, ensuring it is properly positioned and secure.
4. Verify the stability of the connector by performing functionality tests on the circuit.
5. If necessary, repeat the previous steps to add additional connectors or connections.
