These color-changing LEDs take the work out of creating crazy, flashy, blinky… ness. Simply apply power and the LED will cycle through the RGB colorspace: no external controller necessary! These bright and festive LED...

SKU: AF-288 | Brand: Adafruit

Perfect for bread-boarding, free wiring, etc. This spool of solid-core wire is easy to solder to. When bent it keeps its shape pretty well. We like to have a few spools of this stuff around. We suggest picking up wire...

Infrared LEDs are used for remote controls (they're the little LED in the part you point at your TV) and 'night-vision' cameras, and these little blue guys are high powered ones! They are 940nm wavelength, which is...

SKU: SF-PRT-10811 | Brand: SparkFun

This DC power jack/connector is just like the other one that we carry except that it’s terminated with breadboard-friendly pins instead of wide solder terminals. These are also compatible with our DC wall supplies and...

SKU: SF-COM-12986 | Brand: SparkFun

We know these look like a lot of our other LEDs, but they’re not! These are PTH Addressable RGB LEDs with a WS2812 control IC built right into the them. This PTH version is incredibly similar to its SMD cousin, except...

The Adafruit PT100 RTD Temperature Sensor Amplifier is a breakout board for the MAX31865 precision RTD-to-digital converter. It reads 2-, 3-, or 4-wire PT100 platinum resistance temperature detectors over SPI, deliver...

SKU: AF-504 | Brand: Adafruit

A compact 5-way navigation switch that provides up, down, left, right, and centre-press (select) inputs in a single through-hole component. All five switches share a common ground pin, requiring just six connections t...

SKU: AF-954 | Brand: Adafruit

The cable is easiest way ever to connect to your microcontroller/Raspberry Pi/WiFi router serial console port. Inside the big USB plug is a USB<->Serial conversion chip and at the end of the 36" cable are four wire - ...

SKU: SF-ROB-10398 | Brand: SparkFun

This vacuum pump really sucks! This pump operates at 12V and has enough suction for most small projects. We even used one to make our very own universal gripper using coffee grounds, balloon and some other parts. F...

SKU: SF-PRT-10288 | Brand: SparkFun

This adapter allows you to connect a barrel jack connector to bare wires. One end has screw terminals and the other has a 5.5x2.1mm, center-positive female barrel jack. If you have a power supply with a barrel jack an...

The Adafruit TPL5110 Low Power Timer Breakout turns any electronics project into a low-power system by periodically switching power on and off. Connect it between your power supply and your project, and the TPL5110 wi...

SKU: AF-757 | Brand: Adafruit

This bi-directional logic level converter from Adafruit uses 4× BSS138 FETs with 10K pull-up resistors to safely shift signals between different voltage levels. Unlike many level shifters, this design is fully compati...

SKU: AF-852 | Brand: Adafruit

This RF adapter cable is super handy for anyone doing RF work. Often times, small electronics save space by having a pick-and-placeable u.FL connector (also called uFL, IPEX, IPAX, IPX, MHF, and AM). But most anten...

SKU: AF-3490 | Brand: Adafruit

This 30mm translucent blue arcade button has built-in LEDs for a beautiful illuminated look. Two surface-mount LEDs with resistors are embedded in the button body, ready to light up from a microcontroller pin or direc...

SKU: DF-DFR0071 | Brand: DFRobot

The DFRobot SD Module (DFR0071) is a breakout board that adds standard SD and Micro SD (TF) card storage to your Arduino projects. Use it for data logging, file storage, and transferring data between your microcontrol...
