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
