=== Stacked PCBs ===
Stacked PCBs can be connected with standard 0.1" single and double row male/female [[pin headersheader]]s. These combine to a height of 7/16 inch or 11&nbsp;mm and boards can be mounted to each other with spacers of this length.<ref name="hw">[http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=126900 Hardware for stacked PCBs], Muff Wiggler forum</ref>
 
Don't use tools you value highly, the headers are made of brittle glass filled epoxy which will damage the edge of any blades used to cut it. To get the single row male headers to length, grip the last pin of the length you want firmly in pliers and snap the rest off. The female headers don't snap easily so first pull the pins out of the body at the point where you want it to snap, then file the ends smooth. Alternately combine smaller lengths to make up the length required. To get them to butt against each other at 0.1" if there is extra plastic on the ends file it down.<ref name="hw" />
