Set of 5 female header strips 1x13 pin - 2.54 mm goldpin sockets

General information

A set of 5 pieces of 1x13 pin female header strips, 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 elements allow you to create detachable and stable connections on printed circuit boards (PCBs). Thanks to their standardized dimensions, the sockets are fully compatible with popular microcontroller platforms. They are a great fit 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)
• Contact layout: Single row (1x13)
• Number of pins: 13
• 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 eliminate the need to solder wires permanently, 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 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 cable connections in home automation device prototypes.
• Prototyping on universal PCBs 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 keeps the pins at a precise spacing, preventing short circuits between adjacent signal traces. The socket design allows for secure retention of 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 the need for a soldering iron or desoldering wires.
• High compatibility - works ideally with platforms for Raspberry Pi and with microcontroller environments from the AVR and ARM families, fitting PCBs with the same pitch.
• Space saving - the single-row design takes up minimal space on the printed circuit board, allowing you to optimize your projects.
• Stable connection - provides a reliable electrical contact, essential for flawless transmission of logic signals and power.
