PCB header pins are the fundamental building blocks of electronics prototyping. They connect Arduino shields, breadboard circuits, and custom PCBs. Understanding the different types — male, female, straight, right-angle — helps you design cleaner, more functional projects.
What Are PCB Header Pins
Pin configurations vary by manufacturer and application. Always verify the pinout from the datasheet before wiring. Swapped pins can damage connected equipment.
Male vs Female Headers
Choosing between these options depends on your specific requirements for current capacity, physical size, ease of installation, and budget. Consider the operating environment — vibration, temperature, moisture — as these factors significantly affect long-term reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Arduino uses 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) pitch headers, which is the most common pitch in hobby electronics.
Yes, standard breakable header strips can be snapped or cut to any pin count you need.
Stackable headers have long pins that pass through a PCB, allowing another board (shield) to be stacked on top. They are commonly used in Arduino shield designs.
