Using this color-coded 2x20 header for your Raspberry Pi Zero or Zero W is a great way to simplify working with the pinout. First, if you're using it with a Pi Zero or Zero W, you'll need to do a bit of soldering to attach the header. Make sure to match the color coding to the right pins. Red goes to 5V, yellow to 3V, black to GND, don't connect the blue ones, and use green for GPIO. If soldering isn't your thing, you can try the solderless GPIO Hammer Headers as an alternative. Keep in mind that this header only works with the Pi Zero and Zero W because the Pi 2, 3, and Zero WH already have pre-attached header pins. As for maintenance, just keep it clean and dry. Avoid getting it wet or exposing it to extreme temperatures, and it should work well for a long time.
