Revitol 2 x 20(40 Pin) Stacking Header Extra Tall Pack of 4

SKU CH-GZS8-XZYSQ

A pack of four extra-tall 40-pin stacking headers with 24 mm overall height clears Ethernet and USB jacks when stacking multiple HATs on Raspberry Pi A+, B+, Pi 2 or Pi 3

  • Product typeCable Extender
  • Stack multiple boards with 24mm extra-tall female header
  • Clear Ethernet and USB jacks using 10.5mm pin length
  • Fit Raspberry Pi A+, B+, Pi 2 and Pi 3 via 2x20 pin layout
  • Space headers precisely at 2.5mm pitch for reliable alignment
  • Durable PC and metal construction in black finish

Raspberry Pi GPIO stacking headers

This pack of four extra-tall 2×20 pin headers is designed for Raspberry Pi A+, B+, Pi 2 and Pi 3 boards. Each header provides 40 pins arranged in two rows with 2.5 mm spacing and 0.6 mm thickness. The black PC-and-metal construction suits hobbyists and educators who need to stack multiple add-on boards on a single GPIO header.

Clearance for USB and Ethernet ports

The female socket stands 24 mm tall overall, with an 8.5 mm plastic body and 10.5 mm pin length. When a standard 1.5 mm PCB is fitted, the remaining pin height clears the onboard USB and Ethernet jacks so daughter boards do not foul the connectors. No soldering or tools beyond the header itself are required for installation.

Four headers for multi-layer projects

Each pack supplies four identical headers, allowing several HATs or prototype plates to be stacked vertically. The 12 mm pin length and 51 mm overall length match the standard Raspberry Pi GPIO footprint. Builders needing right-angle orientation, surface-mount footprints or compatibility with Pi 4 or Pi 5 boards will need different hardware.

Questions about this item

How tall is the 2 x 20 stacking header so I know if it clears the Ethernet and USB jacks on my Raspberry Pi?

The female header part is 24mm extra tall with 8.5mm plastic height and 10.5mm pin length, designed so a standard 1.5mm PCB clears the Ethernet and USB jacks on Raspberry Pi A+, B+, Pi 2 and Pi 3.

Does this header generate any heat or noise when left connected to a Raspberry Pi running all day?

The stacking header is a passive connector with no active components, so it produces no heat and makes no noise during continuous operation.

What Raspberry Pi models do I need to already own for these 40-pin stacking headers to work?

These 2 x 20 (40 pin) headers are compatible with Raspberry Pi A+, Model B+, Pi 2 and Pi 3 boards.
