Breakout Card Kit Pluggable-Prototype-Breadboard SM/TH for Raspberry Pi

FEATURES Routes all 40 I/O and power pins to pluggable terminal blocks Main card with prototype area for Through Hole projects Two add-on cards with prototype areas for Surface Mount projects 3.5mm Pitch Heavy Duty Pluggable Terminal Block Connectors All connector plugs included Wire range: 24 - 14 AWG Brass standoffs, screws and nuts included DESCRIPTION The Pluggable Breakout Card consists of a main card with pluggable connectors and two add-on cards which can piggy-back on top of the main card.  The main card routes all Raspberry Pi  GPIO pins to heavy-duty pluggable terminal blocks. The 2x20 pin header can be plugged into Raspberry Pi or into any stackable expansion card.  BREAKOUT KIT MAIN BOARD The Raspberry Pi GPIO pins are first connected to a 2x20 hole array placed right under the 2x20 connector. From here, the pins are routed to three 2x12 pin headers placed on the left, bottom and right side of the board, right next to the pluggable connectors. The pin headers serve a double purpose. The GPIO pins can be routed to the outside world by installing jumpers on the corresponding pin headers, or transferred to one of the two Add-On Breadboard Cards for Surface Mount projects. All GPIO pins on the main board are labeled for easy identification. A 12 x 22 hole array allows you to experiment with your Through Hole projects. The top row of holes is a VCC bus bar which you can connect to 3.3V or 5V through a 3 pin jumper. The bottom row provides a convenient ground bus.  MAIN BOARD WITH CONNECTORS INSTALLED ADD-ON CARD #1 The first add-on Breakout Card accommodates surface mount integrated circuits with 0.635mm, 0.5mm and 1.27mm pitch. In addition, the card has one slot for a SOT23-5 and 4 slots for SOT23-3 footprints. All Surface Mount pads are brought to holes spaced at 2.54mm intervals. Similar to the main board, a VCC bus can be jumper selected to 3.3V or 5V. All the remaining real estate is populated with 2.54mm pitch holes. The card comes with three 2x12 female headers which plug into the pin headers of the main breakout board. The Add-on card plugs on top of the main Breakout Card using three 2x12 female headers. Breakout Card #2 A secondary card for Surface Mount can accommodate all circuits with 0.65mm pitch. In addition, it provides breakout areas for two of the most popular microprocessor footprints: LQFP32 and LQFP48. All the Surface Mount pads are brought to holes.
