I received a Giga R1 Wifi that had no pass-through header on the 20 pin J6 connector. Can you tell me the part number for this header so I can order one and solder it into place? I am assuming these can be hand soldered. I wish to use it with the Giga Display and understand this connector to be necessary.
Hi @philipslack. If you purchased the board new, you should definitely be eligible for a replacement. If you want to do that, just contact the seller of the board.
If you purchased it via the official Arduino Store, you can contact customer service about the matter via this form:

If you purchased it via Amazon or from one of Arduino's distributors, just contact the seller via the website on which you made the purchase.
But if you do want to repair the board yourself, I believe this will be a suitable replacement part:
(or any other header you find with equivalent relevant dimensions)
Yeah, I think it is a fairly easy part to solder. Not quite so easy as through hole, but about as easy as it gets for an SMT part.
