This 2x20 pin female header is a great tool to extend the reach of boards with the standard 2x20 GPIO pin footprint, such as the Raspberry Pi, Google Coral, and NVIDIA Jetson. You can also solder it onto Pi HATs without headers. It's suitable for boards populated only on the top or two - layer boards where component height isn't an issue. The header is 13.5mm tall with a pin length of 9.80mm and has a standard 0.1' spacing.
Using this 2x20 pin female header is easy. First, find a board with a standard 2x20 GPIO pin footprint, like a Raspberry Pi, Google Coral, or NVIDIA Jetson. If you have a Pi HAT without headers, you can solder this header onto it. Make sure that if it's a two - layer board, the components' height won't be in the way. When soldering, be careful to avoid short - circuits. Keep the header in a dry place to prevent corrosion. If you notice any damage to the pins, don't use it and contact the supplier.
