2×40 Pin 2.54mm Pitch Female Berg Strip – Break Away Header – Straight

Description

1. 2×40 Pin: This indicates that the component has a total of 80 pins, arranged in two rows, with 40 pins in each row. The pins are used for making electrical connections on a circuit board.
2. 2.54mm Pitch: The distance between the centers of adjacent pins is 2.54mm. This standard pitch allows compatibility with various electronic components and prototyping boards, where components with the same pitch can be easily interconnected.
3. Female Berg Strip: “Female” indicates that this component has receptacles to accept male pins or connectors. “Berg Strip” is a term historically used to refer to these types of connectors, named after the Berg Connector Company. In modern contexts, these are often referred to as header connectors.
4. Break Away Header: This means that the component is designed to be easily separated into smaller sections if fewer pins are needed for a particular application. The header can be broken apart into smaller segments without the need for cutting or specialized tools.
5. Straight: Indicates that the pins are arranged in a straight, linear fashion, perpendicular to the board surface when mounted.
