0.100 (2.54 mm) Breakaway Male Header: 3x40-Pin, Right Angle

These 0.1-inch/2.54mm pitch header strips are versatile and low-cost connectors. With their standard spacing, they're perfect for use with solderless breadboards, perforated prototyping PCBs, female headers, and our high - quality pre - crimped jumper wires. The single - row header strips can be easily snapped into smaller pieces to suit your project. Double - and triple - row strips can also be divided, though it may require a bit more effort, and wire or diagonal cutters can come in handy. We offer a variety of 0.1 - inch pitch breakaway male headers, including 1×40 - pin straight headers in five colors (Black, Red, Yellow, Blue, White), 1×40 - pin straight double - sided headers for unique connections like female - to - male adaptation, 2×40 - pin straight headers, 1×40 - pin right - angle headers, 2×40 - pin right - angle headers, and 3×40 - pin right - angle headers.

Using these breakaway male headers is easy. First, decide which type you need based on your project requirements. If you're using a single - row strip, you can simply snap it into the desired length. For double - or triple - row strips, you might need a bit more force or use wire/diagonal cutters. When connecting to a solderless breadboard, just insert the pins carefully into the holes. With female headers, ensure a proper fit. For the 1×40 - pin straight double - sided headers, you can use them to create unique connections like adapting a female to a male component. When handling these headers, be gentle to avoid bending the pins. If a pin does bend, you can carefully straighten it with a pair of tweezers. To keep them in good condition, store them in a dry place away from dust and moisture. And always check the pins for any signs of damage before use.
