The essential building block for every electronics workbench. This **40-pin Male Header Strip** features standard 0.1″ (2.54mm) spacing, making it compatible with virtually all hobbyist modules, Arduinos, and breadboards. Unlike female headers, these are designed to be easily snapped to any length you need without special tools.

Common Questions
How do I break them cleanly?
The plastic is scored between pins. You can snap them with your fingers, but for a cleaner break, hold the line with a pair of pliers and snap the other side. This prevents the plastic from cracking unevenly.
Which side do I solder?
Notice the pin has a long side and a short side. The Short Side goes through the PCB hole for soldering. The Long Side sticks up to connect to your jumper wires.
Do these fit in a breadboard?
Yes! These are standard square pins designed specifically to grip firmly inside solderless breadboards.
Can I use these for power?
They are rated for approximately 3 Amps. This is plenty for most sensors, servos, and microcontrollers, but avoid using them for high-current motor drive lines (over 3A).
