    Difference between pin header connector and other connectors   A pin header connector is a commonly used electrical connector that plays a vital role in the internal circuit boards of electronic devices. It is a plug connector consisting of one or two rows of metal pins. By inserting the plug into the socket, the pins make contact with the corresponding contacts in the jack to achieve the transmission of power, signals or data.   Compared with other connectors, pin header connectors have the following characteristics:   1. Pin header connectors are typically used to connect a ‘male’ connector inside a device, associated with a ribbon cable connector, the most common jumper pitch is 254 mm (01 inch), but there are also 20 mm (0079 inch) jumpers. 2.   2. The pin numbering of a pin header connector is particularly important in a header connected to a cable because pins in one row have an odd number and pins in another row have an even number. 3. Pin header connectors are usually sold as long strips that can be used to connect two boards together.
