A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.05 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.01 at volume, on a typical 30-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For header pin, the drivers are material, thickness, finish, hole pattern, load rating, tray compatibility, microvia count, laser drill size — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Quoted wholesale pricing for standard pin headers is driven mainly by pin count, plating, pitch, and packaging; higher-contact-count and gold-plated parts cost more than basic tin-plated straight headers. Real supplier routes that match this market are Chinese B2B manufacturers/marketplaces such as Made-in-China and Global Sources, plus distribution lines like LCSC/Newark for stocked catalog parts. For very high volumes, import-style pricing on simple tin-plated headers can reach the low-cent range per piece, while thicker, machined, or specialty configurations stay materially higher.
