I have a few of these cheap RF 434MHz transmitter modules (see image below, on the left) that I want to use with my PCBs, but I don't want to solder them directly to the boards. I'd like to attach them to the PCBs using a sort of female conector. I've tried to use some female headers (image also below, on the right) but the RF module leads seem to be too thin to make a good connection.
What is the best connector for those RF modules?
Best Answer
Try a socket with machined pins. They are usually more snug than stamped pins (which is the type of pink in the black socket pictured in the O.P).
There are single line (SIP) variants too
The pins on the transmitter module a stamped from thin sheet. In that, they are not too different from DIP pins.
