Extra-long break-away 0.1 16-pin strip male header (5 pieces)

Breakaway headers are the duct tape of electronics, and this one is even better! It has extra-long pins on both sides, making it perfect for connecting items with two sockets, especially solderless breadboards. You can also pair these with female-female socket jumpers to create female-male and male-male jumpers. Each pack includes 5 x 16-pin long headers with a 0.1-inch pitch. They can be easily stacked on a 0.1-inch grid and broken apart using pliers or diagonal cutters. Plus, they're gold-plated to prevent oxidation.

Using these headers is easy. First, if you need to, break apart the headers with pliers or diagonal cutters according to your needs. Then, connect them to the two sockets of your electronics, like a solderless breadboard. You can also team them up with female-female socket jumpers to make different types of jumpers. When handling, be careful not to bend the pins. Store them in a dry place to keep the gold plating intact. If you notice any dust on the headers, you can gently clean them with a soft brush.
