smôl Header

The Sparkfun smôl Header is a compact and efficient solution for your next project. This product is part of the smôl range, which is notable for its small size and low current draw. The smôl Header is designed to stack on top of other smôl boards, utilizing 16-way 0.5mm-pitch Flexible Printed Circuits (FPCs). The FPCs can be tricky to prototype or connect to other devices, but the smôl Header is designed to simplify this process.

The smôl Header converts the 16-way FPC to a 16-pin 2.54mm Dual-In line Package (DIP) format. This hole pattern is similar to an old school 16-pin DIP, making it perfect for soldering header pins to and then pushing into a standard breadboard. This gives full access to all the smôl pins, making it easy to connect your favorite SPI board to the smôl stack. Additionally, a Qwiic connector is included to easily attach your favorite Qwiic boards to your smôl stack.

The smôl series is an ecosystem of miniature processor boards, peripheral boards, power boards and accessories. With its small physical size and minimal current draw, the smôl series is ideal for applications like wildlife tracking or discrete long-term monitoring. If you're looking for a compact solution for your next project, the smôl Header is the perfect choice.

The smôl Header measures 40.6mm in length, 10.7mm in width, and a maximum of 4.7mm in height. It weighs a mere 1.6g and has a PCB thickness of 1.6mm. The smôl Header also features configurable I²C pull-up resistors.

As part of Sparkfun's SparkX products, the smôl Header is a rapidly produced, cutting-edge technology. While these products are tested, they come with no guarantees and live technical support is not available. However, you can head over to the Sparkfun forum for support or to ask a question.
