Diagonal male to female headers

Other Hardware General Electronics
1

Hi, I am just wondering is it possible to get male to female headers(a set of 5) that the 3rd male goes to the 4th female and the 4th male goes to the 3rd female. I did a google of 'Arduino diagonal headers' and nothing came up so I am guessing that this does not exist or it is specialist. Does anyone know is this possible and if so were would I get them

Thanks

I have seen "DuPont" cable assemblies with female contacts on one end and male pins on the other.
It's easy enough to lift the plastic retainer and pull back the pin (or the contact) and then place them in the order desired.
If that's how you mean. (See attached)

Yeah - adapter cables like that are one way to do it. You can get the cables and "housings" on ebay for very low prices. Try to avoid having to crimp your own connectors - it's very unpleasant, even with the proper tool.

The need to make little adapters like this was part of why I made (and sell) these little pieces of prototyping board - on these, of course, you can also add more than just crossed over pins and stuff - I've used it to non-permanently add I2C pullups and stuff like that:

You can buy them from my tindie shop! (this line and the picture is a link)](https://www.tindie.com/products/DrAzzy/little-pieces-of-protoboard/)

, just with the 3rd male going to the 4th female and the 4th male going to the 3rd female

Ask yourself if any one else in the universe would want something like that. No market equals no one fulfilling the need.

I remember seeing something like that.

It was to overcome the offset to be able to use standard spacing on prototyping.

Here is a link to the product page.
