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

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.

Merchandising tips

Essential Prototyping Companion: Position as an indispensable accessory for students, teachers, and makers looking to expand micro:bit capabilities without messy alligator clips.

Simplifies Sensor Hardware Hookups: Highlight its dual pin row design as a clean, reliable solution for connecting multiple I2C, SPI, and PWM hardware components concurrently.

Recommended Cross-Sell Add-ons: Pair with BBC micro:bit V2 Boards, 3V/5V Sensor Modules, Dupont Jumper Wires, and Solderless Breadboards.

Versatile Platform for STEM & IoT: Ideal foundation for building robotics controllers, environmental monitoring setups, home automation nodes, and interactive STEM classroom experiments.
