1×40 Pin 2.54mm Pitch Female Berg Strip Connector – Break Away Header – Straight

Description

• Configuration: “1×40” means that it’s a single-row connector with 40 pins, meaning it has one row of 40 connection points.
• Pitch: “2.54mm Pitch” indicates the distance between the centers of adjacent pins. In this case, it’s 2.54 millimeters, which is a standard pitch for through-hole connectors.
• Female Connector: This is a female connector, which means it has receptacles or sockets for receiving male pins or headers.
• Berg Strip Connector: “Berg” is often used informally to refer to connectors and headers. This type of connector is commonly known as a “breakaway header” because it can be broken into smaller segments to match the required number of pins.
• Break Away Header: The “breakaway” feature means that you can snap off segments of the header to create custom sizes. For example, you can break it into smaller segments like 2×20 or 1×10 as needed.
• Straight: “Straight” indicates that the pins or receptacles are in a straight line and not at an angle. This is a common configuration for through-hole connectors.
• Applications: These types of connectors are commonly used in a wide range of electronic projects and PCB designs, including prototyping boards, development boards, and custom PCBs. They allow for easy connection and disconnection of components or wires.
• Compatibility: This connector is typically used with male pin headers, which are soldered onto a PCB or attached to wires to make connections.
• Pin Count: It has 40 pins, so it can accommodate up to 40 individual connections, making it suitable for projects that require a relatively large number of connections.
• Pitch Standard: The 2.54mm (0.1-inch) pitch is a standard in electronics and is widely used for compatibility and ease of use.
