Male Pin Header Single Row (L-Shaped)

Wiring Connections

• Pin Connections:

• • Pin 1: The first pin of the header connects to the corresponding pin on the PCB or device.
  • Subsequent Pins: Each pin connects to its matching position on the PCB.

• Mounting to PCB:

• • Align Pins: Insert the pins of the header into the pre-drilled holes on the PCB.
  • Solder: Secure the header by soldering each pin to the PCB.

Power

• Voltage Rating: Typically supports up to 250V, but check specific header ratings for your application.
• Current Rating: Generally handles currents up to 1A per pin, depending on the header size and design.

Input and Output

• Input:

• • Type: Electrical signals or power input through the pins.
  • Connection: Pins connect to the PCB or other components in a circuit.

• Output:

• • Type: Electrical signals or power output through the pins to other components.
  • Connection: Pins provide a connection point for wires or other connectors.

Physical Characteristics

• Dimensions:
  • Pin Length: Typically 10 mm to 15 mm, depending on the header length.
  • Pin Width: Approximately 0.5 mm to 1 mm.
  • Base Height: About 5 mm to 7 mm.
• Material:
  • Pins: Made from metal, usually brass or stainless steel.
  • Base: Plastic, often made from durable materials like nylon or polycarbonate.
• Color: Typically black or gray plastic base, metal pins are usually silver or gold-plated.

Technical Specifications

• Temperature Range: Usually operates within -25°C to 85°C.
• Insulation Resistance: Typically 1000 MΩ or higher.
• Contact Resistance: Low resistance to ensure efficient electrical connection.
• Durability: Designed to withstand multiple insertions and removals.

Additional Features

• Gold-Plated Contacts: Some headers have gold-plated pins to enhance conductivity and prevent oxidation.
• Easy Soldering: The L-shaped design provides a stable base for easy soldering onto the PCB.
• Standard Pitch: 2.54 mm pitch is compatible with many standard connectors and sockets.

How to Use

• Prepare the PCB:

• • Ensure that the PCB has the appropriate holes drilled for the header pins.

• Insert the Header:

• • Align the pins of the L-shaped header with the holes on the PCB.

• Solder the Pins:

• • Heat your soldering iron and apply solder to each pin.
  • Allow the solder to cool and solidify, ensuring a strong connection.

• Check the Connection:

• • Verify that all pins are securely soldered and aligned correctly.

• Use the Header:

• • Connect wires or other connectors to the pins as needed for your application.

The male pin header single row (L-shaped) is a versatile and essential component in many electronic projects. Its design allows for easy mounting and reliable connections, making it ideal for use in prototyping and final electronic products.
