4.1.2
Using Pin-Headers
The edge connector footprint on PIC16F18076 Curiosity Nano has a staggered design where each hole is shifted 8
mil (~0.2 mm) off-center. The hole shift allows regular 100 mil pin-headers to be used without soldering on the board.
The pin-headers can be used in applications like pin sockets and prototyping boards without issues once they are
firmly in place.

Tip:
Start at one end of the pin header and gradually insert the header along the length of the board.
Once all the pins are in place, use a flat surface to push them in.
Tip:
For applications where the pin-headers will be used permanently, it is still recommended to solder
them in place.
