Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a male and female pin header?
The male pin header has contacts on the outside, while the female has them on the inside. The two connect together.
Can I use these pin headers on any type of PCB?
Yes, but make sure the PCB has the correct cavities to accommodate the pin headers.
