1×40 Pin 2.54mm Pitch Male Berg Strip (Right Angle) – Break Away Header

Description

• Configuration: “1×40” means that it’s a single-row connector with 40 pins, signifying 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.
• Male Connector: This is a male connector, which means it has pins or headers that plug into female receptacles.
• Berg Strip Connector: “Berg” is a colloquial term often used to refer to connectors and headers. In this case, it’s a “breakaway header” that can be separated into smaller segments if needed.
• Right Angle: “Right angle” indicates that the pins or headers are set at a 90-degree angle to the connector body, allowing for connections to be made at a right angle to the PCB.
• Break Away Header: The “breakaway” feature means 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 required.
• Applications: These connectors are widely used in electronics projects and PCB designs, particularly in situations where connections need to be made at a right angle to the board.
• Compatibility: This connector is typically used with female receptacles, which are either soldered onto a PCB or part of a custom wiring setup to make connections.
• Pin Count: It features 40 pins, making it capable of accommodating up to 40 individual connections.
• Pitch Standard: The 2.54mm (0.1-inch) pitch is a common standard in electronics, ensuring compatibility and ease of use.
• Right Angle Connection: The right-angle configuration is useful when you need to make connections perpendicular to the PCB, such as for connecting components on the edge of a board.
