Prototyping
Everything you need to wire up your next build — headers, sockets, breakaway pins, and more. Our prototyping supplies cover standard 2.54 mm pitch and finer-pitch connectors suited to breadboards, PCBs, and custom builds alike.
Whether you're a hobbyist, STEM student, or professional engineer, these components make it easy to prototype quickly and iterate faster. Popular with makers and educators across Australia, with fast local dispatch.
Photo Transistor Light Sensor
SKU: AF-2831 | Brand: Adafruit
This Photo Transistor Light Sensor is a simple sensor that detects ambient light. It's kind of the opposite of an LED - when light hits the little chip inside, it induces current to flow from the long pin...
