Adafruit Proto Shield for Arduino Unassembled Kit - Stackable - Version R3

This Version R3 Prototyping Shield is the ultimate tool for your Arduino projects, designed for maximum compatibility with a wide range of Arduino boards, including UNO, Mega, Leonardo, NG, Diecimila, Duemilanove, and others. It offers a versatile prototyping space with improved features and ease of use for all your DIY electronics.

Key Features:

• Standard 0.1" Grid: Features a 0.1"x0.1" prototyping grid with large, easy-to-use pads for your projects.
• Stacking Headers: Includes both stacking headers and plain headers, giving you flexibility in your soldering setup.
• IC Pattern: Comes with a pattern for adding DIP ICs (up to 20 pins) for easy integration of chips into your projects.
• Power Rails: Includes power rails down the center and sides for easy power distribution to your circuits.
• Reset and General Use Buttons: Equipped with a reset button and an additional general-use button for added control.
• LEDs and Resistors: Includes 2 general-use 3mm LEDs (red and green) along with matching resistors for basic indicator circuits.
• ICSP Header: A pass-thru ICSP stacking header allows you to stack other shields or use an AVR programmer.
• Surface-Mount Chip Area: A surface-mount area for up to 14 SOIC size parts for more advanced custom components.
• Breadboard Compatibility: Works perfectly with tiny breadboards for additional prototyping space.
• Gold-Plated Pads: All pads are gold-plated for better conductivity and durability.
• Capacitors for Stability: Two 0.1uF capacitors are included to enhance power stability and performance.

Assembly:
This prototyping shield comes as a kit, allowing you to configure it according to your needs. It’s easy to assemble even for beginners, and detailed instructions are available.

Note: Arduino boards and breadboards are not included.

Technical Specifications:

• Dimensions (assembled): 69mm x 53mm x 13mm (2.7in x 2.1in x 0.5in)

This is the ideal prototyping shield for any Arduino project, offering plenty of space and flexibility for creating custom circuits.
