PH61 - 20cm Male to Male 40 Jumper Wires Set

The PH61 Male to Male Jumper Wires Set gives you 40 multicolor wires, each 20cm long, joined in a single ribbon strip that you can pull apart to whatever length of bundle you need. Both ends carry a male pin, so these wires are built for plugging into female headers and breadboard holes when you're prototyping circuits with an Arduino or any other development board.

What's in the Set

• 40 jumper wires per strip, in mixed colors
• Length: 20cm per wire
• Male pin on both ends of every wire
• Supplied as a flat ribbon that separates into individual wires or smaller groups

Specifications

• Connector type: Male to Male (both ends)
• Wire length: 20cm
• Quantity: 40 wires per strip
• Pin spacing: standard 0.1" (2.54mm) pitch
• Current rating: up to 1A
• Colors: mixed

Why Choose These Jumper Wires?

• The ribbon format keeps 40 wires organized until you need them. Tear off a group of 4 or 8 for a bus connection, or peel off single wires for one-off links.
• Mixed colors make it easier to tell power, ground and signal lines apart, which saves debugging time on busy breadboards.
• 20cm is long enough to reach across a full-size breadboard or between a breadboard and a board on the same bench, without leaving loose slack everywhere.
• The standard 2.54mm pitch fits breadboards and the female headers found on Arduino boards, so there's nothing to adapt.
• Compatible with a full-size breadboard like the BB-01 Breadboard 830 Tie Point.

Common Uses for These Jumper Wires

• Linking components across a breadboard when building and testing circuits.
• Connecting a breadboard to the female header sockets on an Arduino UNO Rev3.
• School and university electronics labs, where students rewire circuits many times in a session.
• Quick test setups for sensors, LEDs, buttons and small modules before moving to a soldered board.

Which Jumper Wire Type Do You Need?

The connector type decides where a jumper wire can plug in. Male to Male wires like this set are for connections between two female sockets, such as breadboard holes or Arduino header sockets. If one end needs to plug onto a male pin instead, choose the PH60 Male to Female Jumper Wires Set. If both ends need to plug onto male pins, choose the PH62 Female to Female Jumper Wires Set.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these wires with an Arduino? 

Yes. Arduino UNO boards have female header sockets, and the male pins on these wires plug straight into them. The other end can go into a breadboard or another female socket.

Can I use them with the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins?

Not directly. The Raspberry Pi GPIO header is made of male pins, so you need a wire with a female end to connect to it. A Male to Female set is the right choice there, with the male end going into the breadboard.

Can I separate the wires?

Yes. The wires are joined as a ribbon and pull apart by hand, so you can use them one at a time or keep a few together as a neat bundle.

What is the difference between male to male, male to female and female to female jumper wires?

It comes down to the connector on each end. A male end has a pin that plugs into a socket, and a female end is a socket that plugs onto a pin. Pick the type based on whether the two points you're connecting are sockets, pins, or one of each.

How long are the wires?

Each wire is 20cm long, which suits most breadboard and Arduino setups on a desk.
