where to find header pins

Using Arduino General Electronics
1

I'm not sure if that's the right term but I'm referring to the pins similar to the ones on shields that go into the headers. I've used wire recently but I was wondering where I could find some nice straight wire for soldering into perfboard.

Thanks

Thanks! I didn't know what they were called :roll_eyes:

Here is the Sparkfun part at a more reasonable price... I've spent about $100.00 there and never got anything that wasn't Exactly as described... For what it is worth.

I've been ordering from Sparkfun and ebay but electrodragon sure has some good prices! Are they based in the US? I was wondering about shipping times. I'm on the east coast and crossing the Mississippi River seems to add an extra week to anything coming from the west coast...

No Shenzhen... but they seem to be fast... I bought some Banana to alligator and banana to mini clip red and black wires... for my meter and mainly for my bench power supply... ABSOLUTELY A STEAL @ $1.50 or so ea... The Wire (silicone) is regular test lead wire, the clips and alligator clips are first rate. 3V mini buzzers for $0.05 Ea... Buzzers Not piezoelectric speakers that require a pulsed signal to work. a 3.2" TFT LCD with touch on an UNO shield for 13 - 14 dollars... (I bought one) and he adds stuff daily. I'm going to buy about 70 of the RGB clear LED's for a display maybe a cube when I get my current project done. There is a 18650 charger for less than $10.00 (I think)
I know that it is a good charger and really inexpensive (I bought one) I have a pair of those batteries that are 5AH... I bought some battery holders for them and I will need to change out the wires as the batteries can deliver better than 10A for short duration pulses... 5 to 10 Seconds or so and that would melt the wires on the holders. Definitively NEEDS a FUSE for safety... I can't go to that website very often... There's Always something I Absolutely NEED and 'simply can't afford to be without... So.

I saw LED strips and the prices looked to be the best I've seen so far!
