In fact, the pin size of the standard header is 0.025" or 0.64 mm

The standard header has a 0.25" square pin on 2.54 mm (0.10") pin pitch.
 
The new 2.0 mm pitch is trying hard to replace it.

Is there a true definition for a "standard header"? I have heard the term used through the years but is a standard header truly a defined part? I did a quick search of various headers and found different lead sizes & shapes. For example PADS library calls out HDR16, HDR18 etc, with several different sizes of holes. Header datasheets from different manufacturers had square, round, .40-.67 mm pins in the few that I checked. So is there a true "standard header" or is this an antiquated term carried over?]]> Mon, 25 Mar 2013 17:42:51 +0000 https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/standard-header_topic903_post3314.html#3314
