Often used for floppy drives, 34 pin IDC cables have a 2×17 array of pins. This cable will let you connect one port to another with a festive rainbow design! Both ends have strain relief and keyed connectors. Perfect for retro archiving projects or whenever you have a 2×17 0.1″ header on two sides of a board that need connecting.
This small, palm-sized battery power meter has a small display that shows off how much juice is left in your single Lithium Ion/Polymer rechargeable battery. The color display has four levels of power indication once battery capacity becomes 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%. When power is below 25%, only the red battery frame lights up.
The design is pretty basic, it’s just doing basic voltage comparisons, and of course, it will drain any battery it is connected to – but for beginners, this is a pretty easy way to check single 3.7V/4.2V Lithium Ion or Lipoly batteries.
Sure, we’ve got all sorts of diffused bare LEDs in all sorts of colors and sizes. But have you ever laid your peepers on this set of punk spike LEDs? These look too cute and/or threatening and will look amazing for any fashion or cosplay themed electronics project. 5 LEDs per pack in Red
Add that extra zing to your project with these handmade LEDs from dLUX-dLITE. Each pack contains 5 uniquely crafted LEDs. Liven up your PCB, add a hidden surprise, or just collect them all! Please keep in mind these are handcrafted, making each LED unique and slightly different in appearance. They are all beautiful! We recommend you run them a bit dimmer, by adding a bit more resistance than you normally would on with a typical LED. It shows off the details much better!
