Male Pin Header 1×40 Break-Away Gold — 2.54mm
A 1×40 break-away male pin header with gold-plated contacts — the premium choice for high-reliability PCB connectors. Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance, lower contact resistance, and a longer mating cycle life compared to standard tin-plated headers. Snaps to any length from 1 to 40 pins.
Key Specifications
- Configuration: 1×40 (40-pin, single row, break-away) | Pitch: 2.54mm
- Contact plating: Gold (Au) | Insulator: Black nylon
- Current: 3A per pin | Voltage: 250V
- Compliance: RoHS compliant
Why Gold-Plated?
- ✅ Gold contacts — superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance vs tin
- ✅ High cycle life — gold withstands more mating cycles without degradation
- ✅ Break-away — any length from 1–40 pins from one strip
- ✅ Production quality — consistent contact resistance for reliable electronics
Typical Applications
- High-reliability Arduino module and shield headers
- Production PCB assembly requiring gold contacts
- Frequently mated connectors in test fixtures
- Custom PCB gold-plated connector (any length)
