Flip-Pins are low-profile soldering pins designed to make breakout boards breadboard-friendly. At 0.020" wide, they match the width of standard Dual-Inline-Package (DIP) IC pins, so they slot into breadboards and IC sockets without the wear caused by wider square header pins.

The eight pins come in a black plastic alignment sleeve that holds them at 0.100" spacing with a 0.062" solder tail exposed. Solder the pins in place, remove the sleeve, and the board sits nearly flush on top — ready to plug directly into any standard breadboard. The sleeve can be cut down if fewer pins are needed.

Key Features

• DIP-Compatible Width – 0.020" pin width matches standard IC pins, unlike square headers
• Alignment Sleeve – Black plastic sleeve holds pins at 0.100" spacing during soldering
• Low Profile – Pins sit near flush with the top of the PCB after soldering
• Breadboard Safe – Won't damage breadboard contacts like oversized header pins
• Trimmable – Cut the sleeve to use fewer than 8 pins

Specifications

• Pin Count – 8
• Pin Width – 0.020"
• Pin Spacing – 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Solder Tail Length – 0.062"
