- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/POLOLU-4270:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

These header strips have a 0.1" (2.54 mm) pitch and 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.

**[Straight, Double-Sided, 1×40:](https://core-electronics.com.au/0-100-2-54-mm-breakaway-male-header-1x40-pin-straight-double-sided.html)**

Both sides of this 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. This version is only available as an [**individual, 1×40 strip**](https://core-electronics.com.au/0-100-2-54-mm-breakaway-male-header-1x40-pin-straight-double-sided.html) that can be cut or broken into smaller strips.
