Review on Enhance Your Raspberry Pi Experience with Electronics Salon Terminal Breakout Module by Ray Cole

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent for fixed and semi-fixed installations

Blanking boards and jumpers are great for testing circuits. They are not suitable for long periods of time as the jumpers will come loose. This HAT has screw terminals for GPIO, 3v3, 5V and GND pins. Screw terminals allow for attachment of sensors and other devices that won't come loose but can be easily removed later. It comes assembled with brass mounting posts and screws, and DISCONNECTS the PoE pins on the 3 B+ model. There are cutouts for camera and display ribbon cables. There is a 7x15 mounting hole field that you can use to solder components, as well as some additional holes. My only complaint is that I wish they were connected with traces to make two rails that run the width of the device, plus 15 4-pin rails, like a solderable mini breadboard. Station, security system, home theater or other permanent installations around your Raspberry Pi, you need one of these!

Pros
  • Controls and Indicators
Cons
