Product features

Standard 16 x 2 Character Layout: Displays up to 32 alphanumeric characters across 2 lines (16 characters per line) for clear system readouts, status messages, and sensor values.

Pre-Soldered I2C Backpack Interface: Features a factory-attached I2C adapter board on the back, enabling full control via just 2 communication pins (SDA and SCL) plus power.

Vibrant Blue Backlight & Crisp White Text: High-contrast character display ensures excellent readability in dark, low-light, or standard indoor workspace environments.

Onboard Contrast Adjustment Potentiometer: Built-in trimmer potentiometer allows easy, tool-adjustable screen contrast calibration for precise character sharpness.

Standard HD44780 & PCF8574 Driver Support: Fully compatible with standard Arduino LiquidCrystal_I2C libraries and standard open-source Python drivers for Raspberry Pi.

Materials and care

Module Construction: Built on a multi-layer FR-4 glass epoxy printed circuit board with an integrated Liquid Crystal Display panel and soldered I2C header pins.

Power Supply & Operating Voltage: Operates reliably on standard 5V DC power logic. Use logic level conversion when connecting to 3.3V microcontrollers to ensure stable I2C signaling.

Handling Precautions: Handle carefully by holding the outer circuit board edges. Avoid applying direct physical pressure or force onto the front LCD panel glass.

Environmental Limits: Operating temperature range spans -10°C to +60°C. Keep protected from static discharge, conductive metal shavings, and liquid moisture.

Merchandising tips

Hassle-Free 4-Wire Wiring Upgrade: Highlight the included I2C module as the ultimate wiring solution—eliminating up to 10 cluttering parallel jumper wires down to just 4 simple connections.

Essential Beginner & Educator Display: Market as a must-have foundational component for STEM classroom kits, beginner Arduino tutorials, and basic hardware debugging.

Recommended Cross-Sell Add-ons: Pair with Arduino UNO / Mega / Nano Boards, 4-Pin Female-to-Female Jumper Wires, and DHT22 / BME280 Environment Sensors.

Ideal for Compact Hardware Dashboards: Perfect choice for custom smart weather station displays, desktop clocks, liquid level indicators, and home automation control units.
