Exactly what I needed!

Parts came in a mixed bag so yes the bolts were a bit bent on some but nothing catastrophic. Tested on a 1.6" thick board and the pins were more than long enough to connect the Mega. The quality seems satisfactory to me and I've been through my fair share of pin headers over the years. If you have a full set of 2x Mega Shield stacking headers and want nothing else get this. 4 out of 5 for a parts pack vs a box with dividers.

Pros
  • 1 year trial period
Cons
  • No form required

Not as bad as some say, IME

I've bought these a couple of times and found them ok. I'm deducting a point for a bent pin this time, but I can't find another source for the Mega/Due headers on Revain and they look really good to me. I can fix a bent pin. All others have the same length, straightness and good quality.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Modern

Terrible purchase.

I received these today and immediately used them on my Arduino project. I regret buying them. Lessons learned. As said in another review, it's cheap. And I mean CHEAP. The pins bend so easily that they can fail and take quite a while to get into the Mega board's receptacle connectors, especially the 2x18 pins and the middle pin. I gave these 2 runs because at least they work but I won't be buying them again. I didn't send them back because I needed them for my project right now. Stay away from…

Find something else.

I don't like writing bad reviews and I usually give a product credit if it's a 'budget' option. But I don't think they aren't even worth the "budget" cost. Not only are these titles really cheap, as the price shows, but they're some of the worst titles I've dealt with. The pins are very flimsy, making them almost impossible to "stack" on another board once soldered into the Mega. Another thing that really annoyed me is that the pins were hand cut to length and it was very poorly made. Almost…

  • Computer Components
Cons
  • I'll write back later

Excellent Stackable Connector Set for Arduino Mega2560 Boards

These are two sets of (cheap) stackable connectors for Arduino Mega2560 boards. This kit includes a 2x3 stackable header for the ICSP port, meaning you can keep your ICSP port if you are stacking more than 1 board and need the pins on the board to face up, like on the Mega2560- Board. The pins are securely attached to the board and are properly offset so 2 full size shields can be easily stacked. Contains two 2x36 connectors, two 1x10 connectors, two 2x3 connectors (ICSP), and ten 1x8…

Pros
  • Computers & Accessories
Cons
  • Slim
