Kitronik Terminal Block Breakout for BBC micro:bit

The Kitronik Terminal Block Breakout board is designed to simplify connections to the BBC micro:bit by breaking out all its signal and power pins into user-friendly terminal blocks. This facilitates secure and straightforward wiring for prototyping and project development.

Key Features

• Comprehensive Pin Access: Each I/O pin from the micro:bit is accessible via individual terminal blocks, allowing for easy connection of external components.
• Switch-Controlled Power Input: A dedicated terminal block for power input, managed by an onboard switch, enables controlled power delivery to your projects.
• Dual Power Outputs: Two terminal blocks provide power output, sourced from the switched input, to supply connected devices.
• Link Compatibility: Incorporates Link standard connections, ensuring seamless integration with other BBC micro:bit accessory boards.

Specifications

• Dimensions: 80mm x 50mm x 1.6mm
• Operating Voltage: 3.3V DC (Note: The board lacks a voltage regulator or overvoltage protection; ensure the supply voltage does not exceed 3.3V to prevent damage to the micro:bit.)
• Mounting Holes: Equipped with M3 mounting holes for secure attachment in various setups.

Usage Notes

• Power Supply: When powering the micro:bit via its USB connector, the 3.3V terminal block outputs are inactive to provide overcurrent protection.
• Micro:bit Orientation: The micro:bit can be inserted into the edge connector in either orientation without affecting functionality.

Ideal for educators, students, and hobbyists, the Kitronik Terminal Block Breakout board offers a reliable and organized solution for expanding the capabilities of your BBC micro:bit projects.
