Pretty darn useful
about 3 years ago by Member #82931 verified purchaser
These pins are great to work with. They don’t take chips (8 pin-28 pin) as easily as normal female headers,
you have to work the pins on the chip to align them with the headers holes before you put them into these.
Where they really shine is how they hold the chips. They lock into place securely and once in, the chip won’t
move, no intermittents, no loose connection, and once the chips pins are shaped, they slide right in and out
easily. They’re easier to snap apart than typical female headers for defined length and they have a lower
profile. I much prefer these to normal female headers.

SOMETHING.
In 2003, CU student Nate Seidle blew a power supply in his dorm room
and, in lieu of a way to order easy replacements, decided to start his
own company. Since then, SparkFun has been committed to sustainably
helping our world achieve electronics literacy from our headquarters in
Boulder, Colorado.
No matter your vision, SparkFun's products and resources are designed
to make the world of electronics more accessible. In addition to over
2,000 open source components and widgets, SparkFun offers
curriculum, training and online tutorials designed to help demystify the
wonderful world of embedded electronics. We're here to help you start
something.
