Title: How do you call this component?
Post by: Alexandros81 on March 12, 2018, 11:45:59 am

Hi!
I wish to know how do you call the component next to the pin header (to the left)?
I was doing a search in farnell to find the name of it (with no success) in order to find it in Eagle.

Thanks
Alexandros

I don't know what Eagle calls them, but I call it a female pin header.

I keep 40-pin strips of both types handy for prototyping. The male ones are breakaway, the female ones can be cut to length with a loss of one pin.
