PCB header pins are only good up to about 2A, so no good for the hot end heater if you are using 12V power.
It's a good idea to separate the low voltage (e.g. temperature sensor, Z probe) and higher voltage (heaters and fans) so that you are less likely to mix them up.
On the Smart Effector we use a 6-pin Molex Microfit connector for the fans and heaters, and an 8-pin Molex KK for the low voltage connections. See [duet3d.dozuki.com]. This is sufficient to handle one heater, two fans, a 4-wire temperature sensor and a 4-wire Z probe.
