A Female header is a connector, usually consisting of a row of empty slots and a corresponding plastic or metal housing. It is commonly used in electronic devices to connect circuit boards, modules, or other electronic components, and is paired with the corresponding male header pins. Here is a general classification description of female headers:
Number of slots: Female header can be classified based on the number of slots. The number of slots usually matches the number of pins in the corresponding male header, and the common number of slots is single row, double row, three row, etc.
Arrangement: Female header can be classified according to the arrangement of its slots. Common arrangement methods include straight insert type (upright type), patch type, Angle insert type (right Angle type) and so on. The in-line guide slot is perpendicular to the bottom of the connector, the patch guide slot is parallel to the bottom of the connector, and the Angle guide slot is connected to the bottom of the connector at a certain Angle.
Lead slot spacing: Female header Can be classified according to the distance between lead slots. The lead groove spacing is usually in millimeters (mm), and the common spacing is 2.54mm (0.1 inch), 2.0mm, 1.27mm, etc. The choice of lead spacing depends on the requirements of the specific application and the size of the electronic components.
Lead slot shape: Female header can be classified according to the shape of the lead slot. Common groove shapes include square groove, round groove and so on. The choice of groove shape usually depends on the design of the connector and the use environment.
Lead material: Female header can be classified according to the lead material. Common channeling materials include plastic, metal and so on. The choice of material will affect the durability, electrical conductivity and mechanical strength of the lead.
Application field: Female header can be classified according to its main application field. It is widely used in electronic equipment, circuit board, embedded system, communication equipment, computer hardware and other fields.
