Adafruit Proto Shield for Arduino PCB [v.5]

The Adafruit Proto Shield PCB (v.5) is a bare prototyping circuit board in the Arduino shield form factor. It features a 0.1" grid with large pads, power rails, a DIP IC footprint, and an SOIC breakout area — the same layout as the full Proto Shield kit, but sold as the PCB only for those who already have their own headers and components.

Key Features

• 0.1" × 0.1" Prototyping Grid – Large pads for easy soldering
• Power Rails – Down the middle and sides
• DIP IC Footprint – Up to 20 pins
• SOIC Breakout Area – Up to 14-pin SOIC surface-mount parts
• All Arduino Pins Brought Out – Including 3V and Reset

Compatibility

• Arduino UNO, NG, Diecimila, Duemilanove

Also Consider

• Proto Shield v.5 Kit – Complete kit with headers, LEDs, buttons, and capacitors included
• Proto Shield R3 Kit (Stackable) – Updated version with stacking headers and broader compatibility

Package Contents

• 1× Adafruit Proto Shield PCB v.5 (bare board only — no headers, components, or other parts included)
