How to distinguish between header and female

The pin header, as the name suggests, is a row of phosphor-copper alloys (brass wire, phosphor-copper wire, copper-clad steel wire, pure copper wire, etc., with the same spacing and ordering regularly, and the surface is tin-plated on nickel and gold-plated on nickel) The straight pins produced are generally widely used in the connection of PCB boards and have the reputation of universal connectors. Generally, there are headers, wire ends and other connectors that are paired with it.

Female headers and header pins belong to the category of connectors. Its contacts are thinner, and the same spacing is arranged regularly. The material is generally matched with the header pins, and there are generally 180 and 90 degrees of distinction.

In addition: according to the shape of the needle header, it is divided into two types: straight header (indicated by S) and elbow header (W).

Pin header specifications: straight pin header; single-layer plastic single-row pin header (for A<20); double-layer plastic single-row pin header (for 20≤A<30); single-layer plastic double-row Needle (applicable to the case of A<20);

Single-row elbow pin header: According to the shape, the pin header is divided into single-row female and double-row female. The size of the plug-in point of the pin and female header is standard.

Pin header and female connectors are widely used in monitors, digital cameras, MP3, MP4, PDA, computers, computer motherboards, various mobile storage disks, card readers, security products, water and electricity meters, wireless phones, walkie-talkies, mobile phones, Program-controlled switches, VCD, DVD, LCM/LED display modules, electronic toys, household appliances, etc.

The row pin header can be divided into round pin header/row header and so on.
