Raspberry Pi Prototyping Pi Plate Kit Expansion Board

Electronics hobbyists and developers use the Prototyping Pi Plate Kit to build custom circuits directly on a Raspberry Pi. The board plugs into the 40-pin GPIO header, providing a stable platform for soldering components and a mini breadboard for quick experiments.

Key specifications

• Compatible with all Raspberry Pi models with 40-pin GPIO header
• Includes 40-pin male header for direct connection
• Solderable through-hole prototyping area
• Mini self-adhesive breadboard included
• Dedicated 3.3V, 5V, and GND power pins
• Board dimensions: 65 x 56.5 mm
• FR-4 PCB material
• HAT-compatible form factor with standard mounting holes

Why choose it

The Prototyping Pi Plate Kit simplifies circuit development by combining a soldering area and breadboard in one compact board. GPIO pins are clearly labeled, and a power indicator LED helps verify connections.

Ideal use cases

• Rapid prototyping of electronic circuits
• Learning electronics and Raspberry Pi GPIO programming
• Custom sensor or actuator integration
• Permanent projects requiring soldered connections

Good to know

The kit requires soldering for the GPIO header and custom components. It is ideal for makers and students who need a reliable prototyping surface without occupying the entire breadboard.
