Set of 5 female 1x11 pin headers - 2.54 mm goldpin sockets

General information

Set of 5 pieces of 1x11 pin female headers, commonly known as goldpin sockets. The modules feature a standard 2.54 mm pitch, making them one of the most versatile mounting components in electronics. These elements allow for detachable and stable connections on PCB boards. Thanks to standardized dimensions, the sockets are fully compatible with popular microcontroller platforms. They are ideal for projects for Arduino, for Raspberry Pi, and also in circuits based on modules for ESP32 and for ESP8266.

Key technical features

• Quantity in set: 5
• Connector type: Female socket (goldpin)
• Contact layout: Single row (1x11)
• Number of pins: 11
• Pitch (distance between pins): 2.54 mm
• Mounting type: Through-hole (THT)
• Connector orientation: Straight
• Housing type: Plastic
• Compatibility: Fits PCBs with the same pitch

Use in projects

Goldpin connectors are the absolute foundation of prototyping digital and analog circuits. They make it possible to avoid permanently soldering wires, which greatly simplifies modifying circuits, replacing faulty sensors and swapping individual modules. The standard 2.54 mm pitch matches the hole spacing on universal breadboards and perforated PCBs, ensuring trouble-free integration with existing embedded system components.

Sample applications

• Building sockets for sensors and displays in projects for Arduino.
• Creating custom expansion boards (shields) and signal adapters.
• Mounting communication modules on base boards for ESP8266 and for ESP32.
• Making ribbon connections in prototypes of home automation devices.
• Prototyping on universal PCBs without permanently soldering peripherals.
• Servicing and replacing worn-out sockets in existing electronic devices.

Reliability and mounting

Through-hole mounting (THT) provides high mechanical strength of the connector once soldered to the laminate. The plastic insulation keeps the pins at a precise spacing, preventing short circuits between adjacent signal traces. The socket design allows male pins to be held securely, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnection of the circuit due to vibration or moving the device.

⭐ Benefits

• Set of 5 pieces - allows for making more connections or using the connectors in several projects at once.
• Versatility - the standard pitch makes it easy to connect with most electronic modules available on the market.
• Modularity of circuits - enables quick replacement of components without needing a soldering iron and desoldering wires.
• High compatibility - works ideally with Raspberry Pi platforms and microcontroller environments from the AVR and ARM families, fitting PCBs with the same pitch.
• Space saving - the single-row design takes minimal space on the printed circuit board, allowing project optimization.
• Connection stability - provides a reliable electrical contact, essential for error-free transmission of logic signals and power.
