The Adafruit Feather ecosystem is so rich with hardware diversity, we wanted to share them, one each day. Today is the Adafruit Assembled Terminal Block Breakout FeatherWing for all Feathers!
The Terminal Block Breakout FeatherWing is like the Golden Eagle of prototyping FeatherWings (eg. majestic, powerful, good-looking). To start, you get a nice prototyping area underneath your Feather, with extra pads for ground, 3.3V and SDA/SCL. Not one to stop there, we expanded the PCB out to 2″ x 2.5″ with 3.5mm pitch terminal blocks down each side. There’s also four mounting holes so you can attach the breakout to your enclosure or project.
This product works with all our Feathers! The terminal blocks allow you to connect to any of the external Feather pins, great for wiring temporary or permanent installations. We also give you a few extra terminal block pins for ground and 3.3V connections since those are so useful. The terminal blocks included with your product may be blue or black.
Finally, there’s a slide switch, which connects the EN pin to ground when in the ‘off’ position, cutting off the 3.3V regulator.
This product comes fully assembled! Plug in your Feather and you’re ready to go immediately.
