Male Header Double Row 2×40 Pin 2.54mm Pitch – Dual Row Breakable Berg Strip

Overview

The Male Header Double Row strip provides a compact and reliable way to connect multiple signals between boards. This 80-pin (2×40) strip features a standard 2.54mm (0.1 inch) pitch, making it perfectly compatible with dual-row female headers, IDC sockets, and ribbon cables. Whether you are building a custom HAT for a Raspberry Pi or designing a complex industrial control board, these headers provide the structural integrity and electrical conductivity needed for professional-grade prototypes.

Key Features

• Dual-Row High Density: Packs 80 pins into a small area, ideal for complex wiring and 16-bit or 32-bit data buses.

• Standard Pitch: 2.54mm spacing fits all standard breadboards (occupying two columns) and prototyping PCBs.

• Breakable Design: While sturdier than single-row strips, these can still be cut down to specific sizes (like 2×10 or 2×20) using side cutters.

• Gold/Tin Plated Pins: Ensures excellent solderability and long-term corrosion resistance for stable data transmission.

Technical Specifications

Common Uses 

• Raspberry Pi GPIO: Replacing or extending the 40-pin (2×20) header on Pi boards.

• IDC Ribbon Cables: The male interface for 10, 20, 34, or 40-pin flat ribbon cables.

• Microcontroller Shields: High-pin-count interfaces for boards like the Arduino Mega or specialized ESP32 dev kits.

• Logic Analyzers: Creating a high-density “test point” area on a PCB for debugging.
