Xplained Pro Headers and Connectors
3.6.1
Xplained Pro Standard Extension Header
All Xplained Pro kits have many dual row, 20-pin, 100-mil extension headers. The Xplained Pro MCU
boards have male headers, while the Xplained Pro extensions have their female counterparts. All
connected pins follow the defined pin description in the table.
Info: Not all pins are always connected on all extension headers.
The extension headers can be used to connect a variety of Xplained Pro extensions to Xplained Pro MCU
boards or to access the pins of the target microcontroller on the Xplained Pro boards.
