Looking for Short Headers Feather Kit? Short Headers Kit for Feather – 12-pin + 16-pin Female Headers is available at Zbotic with fast shipping across India.
These two Short Female Headers alone are, well, lonely. But pair them with any Adafruit Feather boards and you’re in business!
These headers are particularly cute and tiny with a body height of just 5.0 mm they are the best way to minimize the amount of space your Feather project takes up, but still maintain that flexible configuration. “Normal” socket headers have an 8.5mm body height so this saves you a whole 3.5mm (hey it adds up!). You can use the male headers that come with your Feathers, but you may need to cut the male headers on your Featherwings down by a few mm, so just be aware of that!
What do they do? They get soldered on either side of the Feather board. Now you can plug in FeatherWings to add more capability to your portable project.

How to Use Short Headers Kit for Feather – 12-pin + 16-pin Female
Align the female header pins with the corresponding pads on your Feather board, then solder each pin using a fine-tip iron for a clean joint. Once soldered, you can plug in male headers, jumper wires, or stack FeatherWings directly onto these headers. For FeatherWings with taller male headers, simply trim the pins to match the 5.0 mm height before soldering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these headers compatible with all Adafruit Feather boards?
Yes, the 12-pin and 16-pin female headers match the pin layout of any standard Feather board from Adafruit.
How much height do I save compared to standard headers?
These short headers are 5.0 mm tall, reducing board stack height by 3.5 mm versus the usual 8.5 mm headers.
Do I need to cut male headers when using FeatherWings?
If your FeatherWing’s male header pins exceed 5.0 mm, trim them down before soldering to ensure a flush, secure fit.
