Our GPIO Expansion board Series for the Raspberry PI Can Help

Boards features are -

  • Fully bi-directional GPIO expansion on all GPIO lines transparently
  • Level Translation between 3.3V Raspberry Pi and you circuit typically 5V (you can choose other voltages2)
  • Isolation of Raspberry Pi and your circuit when the Raspberry Pi is turned off or whilst being connected1
  • ESD protection between your circuit and Raspberry Pi of up to 15kV1
  • Connector mounted on board for direct connection to Raspberry Pi no extra cable to make
  • Interface and level translation circuit already on the board1
  • Prototyping area of 0.1 inch matrix holes to solder your components to
    • All GPIO pins available as Matrix holes labelled in groups for easy connection
    • +5V and GND matrix of holes top and bottom of card for easy power wiring
    • Matrix holes laid out with groups of 3 matrix holes connected together to save on wires and strip board cutting
  • See images of boards in product range and in Product Brief PDF document to see what we mean about labelling and connected matrix holes
  • I2C Connector can be added, so you can daisy chain boards together or interface to your I2C device that has to be a distance away.
