A single-row male pin header with 40 right-angle pins at the standard 2.54mm (0.1 inch) spacing. 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 straight 1x40 header.

2.54mm 1x40 right-angle male header strip

One 40-pin strip per unit. Buy 5 or more for the bulk prices shown above.

Great for

A side-entry 6-pin serial header for a USB-to-serial adaptor
Connections at the edge of a board that sits flat in a case
Keeping a plug-in connection low under a lid or display
Plugging a small board in edge-on to a female header
Side connectors on your own PCB or stripboard
Replacing a damaged right-angle header on a module

Wiring & getting started

  1. Snap to length

    Count the pins you need, then bend the strip at the notch with flat-nose pliers or your fingers. It breaks cleanly between two pins. Side cutters work too if you cut in the notch, not through a pin.

  2. Fit it to the board

    Push the bent legs down through the holes from the top of the board, so the plastic sits flat on the board and the straight pins point out past the edge.

  3. Solder and check

    Solder one end leg from underneath, check the strip is flat and square to the edge, then solder the rest. Keep each joint quick so the plastic does not soften, and check for bridges between neighbouring pins.

  4. Connect

    Plug a female header or female Dupont jumper wires onto the pins from the side.

Note: the connector pins point sideways, so a module fitted with this header will not plug down into a breadboard. Use the straight version for that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions buyers ask most.

What is a right-angle header used for?
When it is soldered flat on a board, the pins point out sideways, parallel to the board. That suits side-entry plugs such as a 6-pin USB-to-serial adaptor, connections at the edge of a board in a case, and keeping a connection low.
Which end goes into the board?
The bent legs go down through the holes and get soldered from underneath. The plastic sits flat on the board and the straight pins point out past the edge for the plug or lead.
Will it fit Dupont jumper wires and female headers?
Yes. The pins are on the standard 2.54mm (0.1 inch) spacing, so female headers and female Dupont jumper sockets push onto them.
Can I use it on a breadboard?
Not for plugging a module into a breadboard, because the connector pins point sideways. Use our straight 1x40 header for that.
How do I get the length I need?
Snap it. Bend the strip at the notch after the last pin you want, with flat-nose pliers or your fingers, and it breaks cleanly between two pins. Any number from 1 to 40 pins comes from one strip.
Is the price for one pin or a whole strip?
A whole strip. Each unit is one 40-pin strip. Buying 5, 10 or 25 strips lowers the price per strip, as shown in the bulk price table.

Why Buy from NZN

Useful parts, fair prices and someone local to help.

I'm Lukas, an engineering student and maker based in Te Awamutu. NZN grew out of a CNC build that dragged on for months because every missing cable, bolt or electronic part meant another overseas order. I started the shop so Kiwi makers can spend more time building and less time waiting for the next parcel.
