Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a male and female pin header?
The male pin header has metallic prongs that fit into slots, while the female pin header has slots to accommodate the pins of the opposite component.

How can I verify if I have installed the pin header correctly?
Visually check the position and orientation of the pins, ensuring there are no missing or protruding parts.
