You typically use pin headers to bring signals to and from circuit boards, which are thin boards designed to house a permanent circuit. Pin headers come in handy for complex electronics projects that involve multiple circuit boards. Most pin headers consist of one or two rows of metal posts attached to a block of plastic which you mount on the circuit board. You connect the pin header to a compatible connector at the end of a ribbon cable — a series of insulated wires stuck together side-by-side to form a flat, flexible cable. The rectangular shape of the connector allows easy routing of signals from each wire in the cable to the correct part of the circuit board. You refer to pin headers by the number of pins (posts) they use; for example, you may talk about a 40-pin header.
