Set of 5 female 1x2 pin headers - 2.54 mm goldpin sockets

General information

Set of 5 pieces of 1x2 pin female headers, commonly known as goldpin sockets. The modules feature a standard 2.54 mm pitch, which makes them one of the most versatile mounting components in electronics. These parts allow for detachable and stable connections on printed circuit boards (PCB). Thanks to their standardized dimensions, the sockets are fully compatible with popular microcontroller platforms. They are an excellent choice for projects for Arduino, for Raspberry Pi, as well as circuits based on for ESP32 and for ESP8266 modules.

Key technical features

• Number of pieces in set: 5
• Connector type: Female socket (goldpin)
• Contact layout: Single row (1x2)
• Number of pins: 2
• 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 breadboards and perforated PCB boards, which ensures seamless integration with existing components of embedded systems.

Example 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 cable connections in prototypes of home automation devices.
• Prototyping on PCB breadboards without permanently soldering peripherals.
• Servicing and replacing worn-out sockets in existing electronic devices.

Reliability and assembly

Through-hole mounting (THT) provides high mechanical strength of the connector once soldered to the laminate. The plastic insulation holds 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 you to make more connections or use 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 or desoldering wires.
• High compatibility - works perfectly with for Raspberry Pi platforms and the AVR and ARM microcontroller families, fitting PCBs with the same pitch.
• Space saving - the single-row design takes up minimal space on the printed circuit board, allowing projects to be optimized.
• Stable connection - provides a reliable electrical contact, essential for error-free transmission of logic signals and power.
