What is the Female header?

 

“Female header” is an electronic connector typically used to connect electronic components (such as circuit boards, sensors, modules, etc.) to a motherboard or other electronic devices. It typically consists of a plastic housing and a row of metal pins used for connecting with corresponding “box headers” or “pin headers.”

The features and applications of a Female header are as follows:

 

Features:
  • Reliability: High-quality female headers offer excellent connectivity and stability, ensuring the reliability of electronic connections. They undergo precision manufacturing and rigorous testing to ensure a secure connection between pins.
  • Modular Design: Female headers promote the modular design of electronic systems. By connecting various modules, sensors, and expansion boards to the main circuit board, users can customize and expand system functionality as needed.
  • Easy Installation: Female headers are typically easy to install on PCB boards and can be used with soldering (DIP/SMT) or other suitable (PRESS FIT) connection techniques. This makes them very convenient for use in electronic manufacturing and prototyping.

 

Applications:

Female headers are used in various electronic devices and circuit applications, including embedded systems, development boards, sensors, expansion modules, etc. They allow users to easily connect and disconnect different components, enabling the customization and maintenance of electronic systems.
