A male pin header consists of one or more rows of metal pins molded into a plastic base, often 2.54 mm (0.1 in) apart, though available in many spacings. Male pin headers are cost-effective due to their simplicity. The female counterparts are sometimes known as a female socket header, though there are numerous naming variations of male and female connectors. Historically, headers are sometimes called "Berg connectors", but headers are manufactured by many companies. =Challenges= =Approaches= =Development targets= =References= * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_header|Wikipedia: Pin header]]
