2 Pieces 1x24P 2.54mm Bent Female Pin Header Connector

Description

What it is

The 90° bent female pin header connector is an electronic component used for temporary connections between circuit boards or for prototyping on a breadboard. This item includes two pieces, each with a 1x24P configuration at a 2.54mm mounting pitch.

Features

• Number of connectors: 2 pieces
• Connector type: Female pin header
• Contact points per connector: 24 (1x24P)
• Distance between contact points: 2.54mm
• Bend angle of pins: 90° (bent)

What it is for

This connector is ideal for Arduino projects and other electronic circuits that require temporary connections or prototyping on a breadboard. It is used to create interfaces between sensors, components, and motherboards.

Tutorial: How to use Bent Female Pin Header 1x24P

This female pin header connector, bent at 90°, is ideal for temporary connections between boards or for prototyping on a breadboard. It is particularly useful for beginners who are exploring Arduino-based projects.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• Breadboard
• Jumper Wire

Steps

1. Check the datasheet for the connector dimensions to ensure compatibility with the board or breadboard.
2. Insert the connector into the right (or left) side of the Arduino board, bending the pins inward to secure them firmly.
3. If you are working on a breadboard, insert the connector into the bottom row of the breadboard to connect it to a board or other components.
4. Use jumper wires to connect the input/output lines between the Arduino board and the connector.
5. Ensure that all contacts are properly inserted and that there are no short circuits.
6. If you are using multiple connectors, repeat the previous steps for each unit.

Mini project

Create an Arduino interface prototype with sensors connected via female bent pin headers. Connect a temperature and humidity sensor to the breadboard through the connector, then read the data on a serial port.

Common mistakes

• Do not check the connector compatibility before installation.
• Insert the pin header incorrectly, causing contact problems.
• Omit bending the pins inward for a secure fit.
• Connect the connector without using appropriate jumper wires.

Recommended accessories

• Arduino Uno
• Breadboard
• 20cm Male to Female Jumper Wire

Frequently asked questions

Can a bent pin header be used on flat electronic boards?
Yes, but make sure the pins are bent so they do not interfere with other components.

What is the difference between a male and female connector?
The female connector has internal contacts that insert into male-type pins.
