Header is one of the terms used with connectors in electronic components.
A header usually consists of a series of pins and can be connected to other connectors or electronic components.
Headers are primarily used for:
Programming and Debugging: Headers connected to a computer or microcontroller are used for programming and debugging.
These headers usually support a JTAG (Device Common Debugging) or SWD (Serial Wire Debugging) interface, which allows developers to communicate with the microcontroller to upload and debug code.
Sensor to Module Connection: You can use headers to connect sensors or other modules.
For example, development boards like Arduino usually use headers to connect to sensors or modules.
Circuit board (PCB) connection: When building a PCB, headers can be used to connect it to other circuit boards or electronic components.
Headers usually come with an even pin count, which allows you to match exactly the pin count of what you're connecting to.
Headers are available in a variety of sizes and pin counts, and are readily available from electronic component suppliers.
