DIP Header Introduction
DIP stands for Dual In-line Package, and a DIP header is a type of connector that is commonly used in electronic devices. It typically consists of two parallel rows of pins in a plastic housing, where the pins are spaced to match the standard spacing of holes on a PCB (Printed Circuit Board).
Here are some key features of DIP header:
- Dual In-line Package: The term “dual in-line” refers to the two parallel rows of pins on the connector.
- Through-Hole Mounting: DIP headers are designed for through-hole mounting on a PCB. This means that the pins are inserted into holes on the PCB and soldered on the other side.
- Pitch Varieties: Available in pitches of 1.27mm, 1.27*2.54mm, 2.00mm, and 2.54mm, allowing flexibility in design and compatibility with different PCB configurations.
- Spacing: The pin spacing (pitch) is a standard measurement, commonly 0.1 inches (2.54 mm), making them compatible with standard prototyping boards and breadboards.
- Versatility: DIP headers are versatile and can be used for various purposes, such as connecting components, interfacing with other boards, or providing a connection interface for external devices.
- Customization: FPIC offers customization options, so you can select the orientation, pin counts, and other specifications that align with your project needs.
