6. PCB stacking

6.1

Headers

To stack the two PCBs together, headers are used.

There are three pairs of 6 pin male & female headers and one 8 pin pair. First

assemble all the headers with their mate. Then place the female part on the

SMD PCB and the male part on the top PCB. Then assemble the two boards

toghether and finally once everything is fitted, solder.
