GPIO pins allow you to connect your Pi to external electronic devices such as display LCDs, servo motor, GPS and many more. Usually, a breadboard is used for easy prototyping with these devices. But then, wiring the GPIO pins to a breadboard is not easy. This is where this kit comes in handy. It allows you to break the 40-pin GPIO header onto a solderless breadboard. Accessing GPIO pins have never been easier!
This breakout kit has 2 main pieces. It has a 40-pin ribbon cable with socket that can be attached to Raspberry Pi GPIO pins and a PCB where you attach the other end of the ribbon cable.
Pin 1 is marked with a red stripe on the cable. It's important to align it to the pin 1 (near J8 mark) on the board. It is a best practice to follow this convention when connecting the cable avoid the risk of damaging your Pi.
The PCB is then can be plugged into a breadboard. Information about GPIO pins are printed on the PCB for easy identification. You no longer have to refer to pin-out diagram when making connection.
Unlike our other T-shape GPIO breakout board, this board is more compact and fits to different sizes of breadboard.
This product is compatible with Raspberry Pi models with 40 GPIO pins.
What you'll get:
40-way ribbon cable with IDC connectors
Fully assembled GPIO breakout board
Features:
Fully assembled breakout board with 40-pin header; no soldering required!
