Low Profile Header Set 1×40 Break-Away Gold — Male + Female, 2.54mm

Low Profile Header Set 1×40 Break-Away Gold — Male + Female, 2.54mm

A low-profile 1×40 break-away header set with gold-plated contacts — including both male and female headers. The break-away design allows snapping to any length from 1 to 40 pins. Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance compared to tin-plated headers — ideal for high-reliability applications and frequent mating cycles.

Key Specifications

• Configuration: 1×40 (40-pin, break-away) | Pitch: 2.54mm
• Profile: Low profile (reduced height)
• Contact plating: Gold (Au)
• Contents: Male header + Female header
• Compliance: RoHS compliant

Why Gold-Plated?

• ✅ Gold contacts — superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance
• ✅ High cycle life — gold plating withstands more mating cycles than tin
• ✅ Break-away — any length from 1–40 pins from one strip
• ✅ Low profile — minimal inter-board gap for compact stacking

Typical Applications

• High-reliability Arduino shield and module socketing
• Frequently mated connectors requiring gold contacts
• Compact PCB stacking with gold-plated reliability
• Production electronics requiring consistent contact resistance
