Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Enhance Your Raspberry Pi with kuman RPi GPIO Breakout Expansion Kit: T-Type Expansion Board, Solderless Breadboard, Extension Cable, Jump Wires K80 by Andre Pendergrass

Upside down but can be flipped!

According to a number of reviews, this component is upside down. The first picture is misleading as this is NOT a T-Cobbler Plus but a generic brand. A key difference (and the image here is correct) is that the notch in the tee is on the wrong side of the actual tee component. The cable only enters the tee in one direction due to the cut in the tee and the raised plastic in the cable connector. When the Raspberry Pi is in a case, the cable will only fit one way, as the raised plastic in the cable connector prevents insertion when it hits the case. Unfortunately, the cable only works that way with the right pins. This means removing the case or doing a reverse operation. I ended up cutting out a new slot in the tee so that 1) the cable can be easily inserted into the Pi when it's in the case 2) the cable does NOT cover the tee and the rest of the breadboard! The cable is too short/tight to otherwise bend. As mentioned in other reviews this takes up quite a few rows on the breadboard, it's not a flimsy model. It works and the price is right and the shipping was very fast. .
