Individual header for GPIO

Hi guys,

Is there a product like this:

Just for individual GPIO headers i.e. 1 instead of the full two rows? As I only need one pin and having some size constraints. In my use case I would just solder a male pin directly on.

They’re not sold individually, but you could use a breakaway header to do that if you really just want the one pin. Just snap off one pin and don’t solder the rest:

Thanks Oliver, just wanted to know, do I need to solder every single header when using that, or can I solder the main pins I need and possibly pins 1/2/39/49 so it holds the 40 row header to the Pi structurally?

That would be quite fine, yes :smiley: In fact when soldering it on, just solder one pin at each end first and then it’ll be held in place ready for you to do the rest.
