  • Female End:
  • Has a single-pin female header
  • Is typically connected to a breadboard, Arduino, or other components with male headers
  • Connecting the Pins:
  • To connect the pins, follow these steps:
  • Step 1: Identify the Pins
  • Identify the male end of the jumper wire, which has a single-pin male header.
  • Identify the female end of the jumper wire, which has a single-pin female header.
  • Step 2: Connect the Male End
  • Locate the component or module that you want to connect the jumper wire to, such as a breadboard or an Arduino board.
  • Ensure the component or module has a female header that matches the male end of the jumper wire.
  • Insert the male end of the jumper wire into the corresponding female header on the component or module.
