40P X 1 Berg Strip Male Straight 2.54mm – White

40P X 1 Berg Strip Male Straight 2.54mm – White is a versatile and high-quality interconnect solution designed for secure electrical connections between printed circuit boards and peripheral modules. This single-row header features a standard 2.54mm pitch, which ensures seamless compatibility with most breadboards, prototyping shields, and female headers. Furthermore, the distinct white insulator provides a clear visual coding option for complex assemblies, helping technicians distinguish different power or signal rails at a glance. Consequently, engineers often utilize these breakable strips to customize pin counts for specific project requirements. Therefore, you can rely on this robust berg strip to maintain signal integrity while offering the flexibility needed for rapid prototyping and mass production alike.

Key Features:

• Customizable Length: The plastic carrier features notches between each pin, allowing users to easily snap the strip into smaller segments without damaging the terminals.
• Standard Pitch: A precise 2.54 mm (≈ 0.1 inch) spacing guarantees a perfect fit for universal PCBs, Arduino shields, and standard ribbon cable connectors.
• High-Temperature Insulator: The white thermoplastic body withstands standard soldering temperatures, preventing melting or pin misalignment during assembly.
• Corrosion Resistance: High-quality plating on the brass pins ensures long-term conductivity and minimizes contact resistance in humid environments.
• Visual Identification: The white color simplifies cable management and troubleshooting by providing a sharp contrast against standard green or black PCBs.
