Those are some seriously expensive pin headers. Almost comical when compared to the price of the Micro Python board itself, which seems pretty reasonable!


Cheap pin headers are just punched and shoved into nylon housing. They have very little contact with a male connector.

These pin headers are machined and have far better contact with anything plugged in.


To be fair, it's pretty expensive breaking them into chunks and packaging them individually and they're turned pin ones by the looks. This isn't massive production run bags of them.
