SPIDER Automation Raspberry Pi GPIO Tall Header 2×20 Pin | Stackable Extension Connector
Description
SPIDER Automation Raspberry Pi GPIO Tall Header 2×20 Pin Connector solves physical clearance challenges when building custom single-board computer enclosures and stacked electronic modules. Featuring the exact same pin count and spacing as standard Raspberry Pi boards, this “tall” through-hole header allows you to extend the physical height of your 40-pin GPIO interface.
Whether you need to route ribbon cables past a tight case wall, stack multiple expansion HATs, or accommodate bulky components that encapsulate your board, this connector provides the necessary vertical elevation. Built with precision-molded plastic insulators and durable metal pins, it snaps effortlessly into place and requires minimal soldering for a secure, permanent bond.
Key Features
- Standard 2×20 Pin Layout: Complete 40-pin dual-row configuration fully compatible with Raspberry Pi and standard development board layouts.
- Extended Vertical Clearance: Lifts the connection plane higher to bypass enclosure walls, tall heat sinks, and onboard circuitry.
- Standard 0.1-Inch Pitch: Precision 2.54mm pin spacing ensures effortless alignment with standard prototype shields and expansion boards.
- Through-Hole Mounting Design: Built for stable board-to-board connections with reliable solder joint anchoring.
- Stackable Architecture: Permits simultaneous connection of multiple expansion modules or testing probes on a single port.
- Low-Resistance Metal Pins: High-conductivity contacts ensure clean signal transmission across data, power, and ground lines.
- Durable Insulator Base: Heat-resistant plastic housing prevents accidental short circuits during soldering and operation.
- Compact Form Factor: Precision-molded profile measuring 51mm in length for seamless integration into tight hardware designs.
- Lightweight Construction: Weighing only 6 grams, it adds negligible load to portable and weight-sensitive electronic rigs.
Benefits
- Overcomes Enclosure Interference: Eliminates physical blocking issues when mounting development boards inside custom protective cases.
- Simplifies Multi-Board Stacking: Allows developers to layer multiple HATs, sensor shields, and communication modules cleanly.
- Facilitates Prototyping & Testing: Provides elevated access for multimeters, logic analyzers, and test clip attachments.
- Cost-Effective Modification: Inexpensive hardware fix that saves you from redesigning custom PCBs or enclosure walls.
- Reliable Electrical Integrity: Prevents loose connections and intermittent faults caused by tight, strained wiring setups.
Applications
- Custom Enclosure Integration: Routing GPIO access cleanly through thick protective cases or custom-3D-printed boxes.
- Stacked IoT Sensor Arrays: Connecting multiple environmental, relay, or communication HATs vertically on a single board.
- Industrial Automation Rigs: Securing reliable, vibration-resistant pin extensions for factory floor data loggers.
- Educational Electronics Labs: Making breadboard jumpers and expansion cables easier to plug and unplug during student experiments.
- Prototyping & Debugging Benches: Raising test pins above tall components for fast oscilloscope and logic probe placement.
