Looking for Arduino Mega 2560 without soldered female connectors

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for a special project for an arduino board without soldered female connectors. The board might have the USB connector for programming and the power plug, but I need long male connectors/ pins instead soldered to the other side of the board.
There is the possibility of de-soldering the connectors, and changing them to the needed pins, but I don't want to stress the board too much.

Someone has a solution?

Use something like this to remove the solder and then remove the headers

Hi apf1979,

thx for your thoughts!
I already thought about using the solder wick, the drilled holes of the arduino board are normally so tight, that the wick will not draw all the solder out of the hole. I continued in breaking the plastic housing apart and de-solder the pins one by one...
I'll see how it will work!

Does it have to be in the original MEGA2560 footprint? If not, then there's this board - I think it's called a MEGA2560 Pro:
