Female header is like the duct tape of electronics. It’s great for connecting things together, soldering to perf-boards, sockets for wires or break-away header, etc. We go through these real fast, and thought that given how handy they are, we’d offer them in a pack of five!
Each pack contains five blue 20-pin 0.1″ pitch female headers. These are a little extra special in that the plastic holding the pins together is made of blue plastic instead of classic black.
You can cut these down to different sizes fairly easily with diagonal cutters to cut in between pins.
Now for the Green!
Each pack contains five green 20-pin 0.1″ pitch female headers. These are a little extra special in that the plastic holding the pins together is made of blue plastic instead of classic black.

Next up, the Red!
Each pack contains five red 20-pin 0.1″ pitch female headers. These are a little extra special in that the plastic holding the pins together is made of blue plastic instead of classic black.
You can cut these down to different sizes fairly easily with diagonal cutters to cut in between pins.
Moving along to the Yellow!
Each pack contains five yellow 20-pin 0.1″ pitch female headers. These are a little extra special in that the plastic holding the pins together is made of blue plastic instead of classic black.
You can cut these down to different sizes fairly easily with diagonal cutters to cut in between pins.
Now for those pearly Whites!
Each pack contains five white 20-pin 0.1″ pitch female headers. These are a little extra special in that the plastic holding the pins together is made of blue plastic instead of classic black.
You can cut these down to different sizes fairly easily with diagonal cutters to cut in between pins.
Lastly, the Rainbow pack!
Each pack contains five candy-colored 20-pin 0.1″ pitch female headers. These are a little extra special in that the plastic holding the pins together is made of colored plastic instead of classic black.
You get 1 of each color: red, yellow, white, green, and blue. This pack does not include black headers.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
