Set of 5x 1x3 pin female header goldpin socket 2.54mm for Arduino ESP32

General information

Set of 5 pieces of 1x3 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 PCBs. Thanks to their standardized dimensions, the sockets are fully compatible with popular microcontroller platforms. They are ideal for projects for Arduino, for Raspberry Pi, as well as circuits based on ESP32 and ESP8266 modules.

Key technical features

• Number of pieces in the set: 5
• Connector type: Female socket (goldpin)
• Pin layout: Single row (1x3)
• Number of pins: 3
• 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 an absolute essential for 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 perfboard PCBs, ensuring seamless integration with existing embedded system components.

Example applications

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

Reliability and assembly

Through-hole (THT) mounting provides high mechanical strength of the connector after soldering 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 caused by 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.
• Modular design - enables quick replacement of components without the need for a soldering iron or desoldering wires.
• High compatibility - works ideally with 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.
