## Description

These 0.1"/2.54mm-pitch header strips are commonly used as low-cost connectors. The standard spacing allows use with [solderless breadboards](https://core-electronics.com.au/prototyping/breadboards.html), perforated [prototyping PCBs](https://core-electronics.com.au/prototyping/proto-boards.html), [female headers](https://core-electronics.com.au/connectors-sockets/headers/female-straight.html), and Pololu's [premium](https://core-electronics.com.au/prototyping/prototyping-wire.html) and [pre-crimped jumper wires](https://core-electronics.com.au/wire/pre-crimped-terminals.html). The single-row header strips can easily be snapped into smaller strips to fit your application. The double- and triple-row strips can also be broken into smaller strips, but it takes a little more effort, and it is sometimes easier to use wire/diagonal cutters.

- [1×40-pin, straight, double-sided](https://core-electronics.com.au/0-100-2-54-mm-breakaway-male-header-1x40-pin-straight-double-sided.html) (Both sides of the strip are long, allowing for unique connections that cannot be made with standard male header strips. For example, this header can be used as a female-to-male adapter, and both sides are compatible with wire wrap.)
