What do you mean by pins? uC chips are generally soldered to a PC Board (PCB) -- are you referring to some connector that is on your uC board? What does it look like?

Or are you asking about sockets for uC chips?

Could you please post a picture and/or a datasheet for the board? I did a Google search, and got conflicting info.

I have found that the most reliable and robust connection for microcontroller pins is through the use of soldered connections. This ensures a strong and stable connection that can withstand various environmental factors. Additionally, using high-quality cables and connectors can also improve the reliability of the connection. It is important to carefully consider the materials and construction of the cables to ensure they can handle the necessary electrical signals and maintain a secure connection. It may also be helpful to consult with a hardware engineer for specific recommendations on the best cables for your specific microcontroller and application.
 
Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
