(SPIDER Automation) Adafruit Stacking Headers for Feather Boards | 12-Pin + 16-Pin, 2.54mm Pitch | Female Phosphor Bronze, Stackable Through-Hole Design

SPIDER Automation Adafruit Stacking Headers for Feather Boards | 12-Pin + 16-Pin, 2.54mm Pitch | Stackable Female Headers

Description

The Adafruit Stacking Headers for Feather Boards provide a stackable female-header interface for connecting compatible Feather boards to solderless breadboards, FeatherWings and additional circuitry. The set includes 12-pin and 16-pin female header sections, matching the two sides of the Feather board and providing a practical socketed connection.

With a standard 2.54mm pitch, these headers are suitable for conventional breadboard and through-hole prototyping environments. Their stackable configuration allows the Feather board to plug into a solderless breadboard while keeping the upper header connections accessible, making it possible to add circuitry or compatible expansion boards above the Feather.

The headers use phosphor bronze contact material and are supplied in a compact 5mm-height format. This makes them suitable for modular embedded electronics where board stacking, breadboard integration and accessible electrical connections are required.

Key Features

• Stacking Header Design: Allows additional circuitry or compatible FeatherWing boards to be positioned above the Feather.
• 12-Pin + 16-Pin Configuration: Provides the two header sections required for a Feather board.
• 2.54mm Standard Pitch: Compatible with common solderless breadboards and through-hole prototyping layouts.
• Female Header Construction: Provides socket connections for compatible male pin headers.
• Phosphor Bronze Contacts: Uses phosphor bronze for the specified contact material.
• Feather Board Compatibility: Designed specifically for compatible Adafruit Feather form-factor boards.
• FeatherWing Expansion: Supports stackable connections for compatible FeatherWing expansion boards.
• Through-Hole Integration: Suitable for through-hole mounting and prototyping applications.
• Breadboard Integration: Allows a Feather board to be connected to a standard solderless breadboard.
• Compact 5mm Height: Provides a relatively low-profile header arrangement for stacked electronics.

Benefits

• Modular Expansion: Makes it easier to build Feather-based systems with multiple interconnected boards.
• Breadboard Prototyping: Provides a convenient interface between Feather boards and solderless breadboards.
• Accessible Upper Connections: Stackable construction keeps additional connection points available above the Feather.
• Standardized Spacing: The 2.54mm pitch works with widely used prototyping hardware.
• Reusable Socket Interface: Allows compatible boards to be connected and removed without permanently soldering the expansion board.

Applications

• Feather Development Boards: Installing stackable female headers on compatible Feather controllers.
• FeatherWing Expansion: Connecting compatible FeatherWing expansion boards while maintaining stackability.
• Breadboard Prototyping: Connecting Feather-based circuits to solderless breadboards.
• Embedded Electronics: Building modular controller and expansion-board assemblies.
• IoT Prototyping: Creating expandable Feather-based connected-device prototypes.
• Through-Hole Projects: Integrating Feather boards into conventional prototyping assemblies.
