Product features
Product features
Complete Micro:bit GPIO Breakout: Extends all peripheral I/O pins from the BBC micro:bit edge connector into standard 2.54mm pitch header pins for easy breadboard and jumper wire connections.
Dual Header Pin & Socket Array: Features double-sided breakout pins and edge header sockets, allowing simultaneously connected sensors, modules, and diagnostic test probes.
Dedicated Power Rails (3.3V & 5V): Onboard voltage regulators supply both 3.3V DC and 5V DC auxiliary power rails to easily run higher-power peripherals and external sensor modules.
Vertical Edge Connector Slot: High-durability edge socket ensures quick, secure insertion and removal of micro:bit V1 or V2 boards without risking pin damage or wear.
Prototyping & Breadboard Friendly: Designed for effortless connection with standard male-to-female and female-to-female Dupont jumper cables and breadboard hardware setups.
Materials and care
Materials and care
Module Construction: Built on a multi-layer FR-4 glass epoxy printed circuit board featuring gold-plated edge contacts, durable solder headers, and non-slip rubber feet.
Power Supply & Operating Voltage: Accepts external power via the onboard DC jack or USB power header. Verify that power rail settings (3.3V vs 5V) match your connected sensors prior to applying power.
Handling Precautions: Hold carefully by the PCB edges during insertion. Avoid touching exposed connector pins directly to prevent electrostatic discharge.
Environmental Limits: Operating temperature range spans 0°C to +70°C. Keep protected from static discharge, conductive metal debris, and liquid moisture.
