Male Pin Header 1×40 Break-Away Gold — 2.54mm

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)
