Finding Headers for Particle Photon 2
Thought for 3 mins 3 sec
Great—Feather-compatible sockets use 0.1 in (2.54 mm) pitch single‑row female headers. For a Feather/Photon 2 footprint you typically need one 1×12 and one 1×16 strip. Here are good options:
Table
| Use | Part | MPN | Pins | Pitch | Mount | Datasheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary (1×12) | PPTC121LFBN-RC | PPTC121LFBN-RC | 12 | 2.54 mm | THT | Datasheet |
| Primary (1×16) | PPTC161LFBN-RC | PPTC161LFBN-RC | 16 | 2.54 mm | THT | Datasheet |
| Alt (1×12, generic) | Pin Socket 01x12 2.54mm Vertical | Generic | 12 | 2.54 mm | THT | |
| Alt (1×16, generic) | Pin Socket 01x16 2.54mm Vertical | Generic | 16 | 2.54 mm | THT | |
| Alt (1×16) | X6511FV-16-C85D32 | X6511FV-16-C85D32 | 16 | 2.54 mm | THT |
Quick check:
- Do you want standard low-profile sockets or taller “stacking” sockets?
- Through-hole vertical is typical—do you need right-angle or SMD instead?
- Want me to add a 1×12 + 1×16 socket pair next to U1 in your project?
Use low-profile headers
Use stacking headers
Get right-angle variant
Align footprints
