Each pin is bent 90 degrees, so when the strip is soldered to a board the connector pins point out sideways, parallel to the board. That suits side-entry plugs such as a USB-to-serial adaptor, and connections that need to stay low inside an enclosure. It snaps to any length. For pins that stand straight up from the board, use the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/2-54mm-male-pin-header-strip-1x40-straight-breakaway\"\u003estraight 1x40 header\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"nznpd__block\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"nznpd__h\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__specs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e40 in one row (1x40)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePitch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.54mm (0.1 inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eStrip length\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e101.6mm (40 x 2.54mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePin style\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRight angle, bent 90 degrees, square pins\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMounting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlastic on the board, pins parallel to it\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePlastic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack, notched between every pin\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eBreakaway\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSnaps at any notch, no pins lost\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMates with\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.54mm female headers and Dupont sockets\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSoldering\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThrough-hole, hand solder\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"nznpd__block\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"nznpd__h\"\u003eDatasheets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__ds\"\u003e\n\u003ca class=\"nznpd__dsbar\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0664\/6127\/0112\/files\/NZN-Pin-Header-2.54mm-1x40-Right-Angle-Datasheet-Rev1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Download the 2.54mm 1x40 right-angle pin header datasheet (PDF)\"\u003e\n\u003csvg width=\"20\" height=\"20\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M14 2H6a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v16a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h12a2 2 0 0 0 2-2V8z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003cpolyline points=\"14 2 14 8 20 8\"\u003e\u003c\/polyline\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eFull technical datasheet\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"nznpd__dsmeta\"\u003ePDF\u003csvg width=\"17\" height=\"17\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M21 15v4a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H5a2 2 0 0 1-2-2v-4\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003cpolyline points=\"7 10 12 15 17 10\"\u003e\u003c\/polyline\u003e\u003cline x1=\"12\" y1=\"15\" x2=\"12\" y2=\"3\"\u003e\u003c\/line\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"nznpd__block\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"nznpd__h\"\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__included\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__qty\"\u003e1×\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.54mm 1x40 right-angle male header strip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne 40-pin strip per unit.
