This SMT (Surface Mount Technology) GPIO header provides an ultra-slim solution for Raspberry Pi HAT designs. The short female header maintains a low profile while still providing full 40-pin GPIO connectivity—ideal for custom PCBs where height is critical.

Designed for surface-mount soldering rather than through-hole, this header requires more careful installation but delivers the most compact form factor possible for HAT connections.

Key Features

• Surface Mount Design – SMT soldering for minimal height
• Short Form Factor – Lower profile than standard headers
• 40-Pin GPIO – Full 2×20 connection for all GPIO pins
• Lightweight – Only 2g for weight-sensitive applications

Specifications

• Configuration – 2×20 (40 pins)
• Type – Short female header, SMT
