## Description

This custom-made, 2x20 SMT female socket header is "that" header used in many Raspberry Pi HAT designs and recommended for HAT specification products by the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

It's a surface mount female "push-fit" type socket designed to be used to plug a Raspberry Pi HAT onto a Raspberry Pi A+/B+/2/3. The sockets are push-fit, so harder to use than the Thru-Hole type headers, but for the slickest, slimmest fit, this header is recommended! These are individually packaged parts from a pick & place reel, but come complete with the pick and place plate. The pins are large enough to be hand soldered, so perfect for prototyping and small batch runs!

### Features

- Surface Mount Bottom Entry Dual Row Socket
- 2 x 20 (40 Pin)
- 2.54mm Pitch
- 3.5mm Low Profile Type
- Specified for Raspberry Pi Add-ons & HAT GPIO Applications
- Gold Flash Plating on Contact Area
