Overview
These Arduino stackable headers are specialized connectors designed to allow multiple PCB shields to be layered on top of a base microcontroller board. They feature extra-long pins that pass through a PCB to provide a mating socket for the next board in the stack while maintaining a 10.6mm clearance between layers.
Why Choose This Part
These headers provide the standard 0.1 inch pitch required for Arduino-compatible footprints while offering long tails for reliable through-hole soldering. The stackable design ensures that every pin remains accessible to the next layer, preventing the 'dead-end' connectivity found with standard female headers.
Applications
Arduino Shield Design
Custom PCB shields for the Uno, Leonardo, or Mega that require pass-through connectivity for further expansion.
Prototyping Layers
Creating intermediate breadboard-compatible breakout layers that sit between a base MCU and a top-level user interface shield.
Height Extension
Increasing the vertical clearance between two boards to accommodate bulky components like electrolytic capacitors or large inductors.
