Board Mount PCB Header
What is a Board Mount PCB Header?
A PCB header contains several pin headers, which are a type of electrical connector that is often used for connecting to a ribbon cable connector or as a recipient for jumpers. Pin headers can be pin through hole or surface-mount and can be either straight or angled, with angled pin headers used to connect two boards together. Pin headers with a plastic surrounding box are called shrouded headers or box headers and are generally used in conjunction with a ribbon cable connector.
