Set of 5 female headers 1x8 pin - goldpin socket 2.54 mm

General information

Set of 5 pieces of 1x8 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 you to create detachable, stable connections on PCB boards. 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 for ESP32 and for ESP8266 modules.

Key technical features

• Number of pieces in the set: 5
• Connector type: Female socket (goldpin)
• Pin layout: Single row (1x8)
• Number of pins: 8
• Pitch (distance between pins): 2.54 mm
• Mounting type: Through-hole (THT)
• Connector orientation: Straight
• Housing type: Plastic
• Compatibility: Fits PCB boards with the same pitch

Use in projects

Goldpin connectors are the absolute foundation of prototyping digital and analog circuits. They eliminate the need to permanently solder 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, ensuring seamless integration with existing embedded system components.

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 connections in home automation device prototypes.
• Prototyping on universal PCB boards without permanently soldering peripherals.
• Servicing and replacing worn 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 securely holds male pins, 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.
• Modularity of circuits - enables quick replacement of components without using a soldering iron or desoldering wires.
• High compatibility - works ideally with for Raspberry Pi platforms and AVR and ARM microcontroller families, fitting PCB boards with the same pitch.
• Space saving - the single-row design takes up minimal space on the circuit board, allowing you to optimize your projects.
• Stable connection - provides a reliable electrical contact, essential for error-free transmission of logic signals and power.
