25pcs DuPont 4P Header, 2.54mm Pitch, Dupont Shell, Caps

Description

Technical Description

The Dupont wires with Dupont connectors are used to quickly and easily connect components of an electronic project. These wires are suitable for both temporary assembly and circuit prototyping. The Dupont connector allows the wires to be inserted into connectors or interfaces with a 2.54mm pitch, facilitating connection and disconnection.

The wires are equipped with a plastic casing that protects the internal wires and facilitates handling. The plugs at the ends of the wires prevent accidental insertion of small objects and maintain a stable connection.

These wires are suitable for connecting sensors, actuators, resistors, and other components to control boards such as Arduino, allowing the creation of temporary circuits for experimentation and prototyping.
