This 2x20 pin female header is a great solution for extending the reach of boards with a 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. With a 16mm height and 7.30mm pin length, it 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 the Raspberry Pi. Align the header with the pins on the board and carefully solder it in place. If you're using it with a Pi HAT that doesn't have headers, just follow the same soldering process. When soldering, make sure to work in a well - ventilated area and use proper soldering tools. As for maintenance, keep the header clean and free from dust. Check the solder joints regularly to ensure they're still secure. Avoid exposing the header to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this could affect its performance.
