Extra Tall Stackable Pin Header 1×40 Break-Away — 2.54mm

Extra Tall Stackable Pin Header 1×40 Break-Away — 2.54mm

An extra tall stackable pin header in 1×40 break-away configuration — designed for stacking Arduino shields over tall components such as large capacitors, transformers, LCD displays, and heat sinks that would otherwise prevent standard-height shields from stacking. The extra tall body provides additional clearance between stacked PCBs. Snaps to any length from 1 to 40 pins.

Key Specifications

• Configuration: 1×40 (40-pin, single row, break-away) | Pitch: 2.54mm
• Type: Extra tall stackable (female socket + extended male pins)
• Height: Extra tall (greater inter-board clearance than standard stackable)
• Contact: Tin-plated brass
• Current: 3A per pin | Voltage: 250V
• Compliance: RoHS compliant

Why Extra Tall?

• ✅ Clears tall components — stack shields over large capacitors, transformers and heat sinks
• ✅ Extra inter-board clearance — more space between stacked PCBs than standard stackable headers
• ✅ Break-away — any length from 1–40 pins from one strip
• ✅ Female socket on top — accepts the next shield or jumper wires for probing

Typical Applications

• Arduino shield stacking over tall components (capacitors, transformers)
• LCD display shield with extra clearance for display height
• Heat sink clearance for power shield stacking
• Custom PCB stacking requiring extra inter-board spacing
