IDC Breakout Helper - 2x20 (40 pin)

The "poor woman's" Raspberry Pi A+ / B+ / Pi 2 cobbler! This combo of 2x20 pin (0.1 spaced) header and socket is designed for the popular GPIO Ribbon Cable for Raspberry Pi Model A+/B+/Pi 2 (40 pins). It comes in two parts, a 'pin-through' socket and a male header.

The socket straddles the center of a breadboard or Perma-Proto and the header plugs into the top of the socket. This is a cost-effective prototyping solution for using IDC cables with breadboards, which are often difficult due to pin design. It works best when soldered in place. While some users have used it on solderless breadboards, compatibility varies with different boards.

Each order includes one socket and one header. Breadboard, Perma Proto, and IDC cable are not included.

Additional IDC breakout helper sizes available: 2x16 Pins, 2x13 Pins, 2x8 Pins, 2x5 Pins, 2x3 Pins.

• Combines 2x20 pin header and socket for Raspberry Pi GPIO ribbon cable.
• Fits breadboard or Perma-Proto.
• Best used soldered; may vary on solderless breadboards.
• Includes one socket and one header per order.

This product is ideal for prototyping Raspberry Pi projects with standard IDC cables and breadboards.
