## AI Product Insights

This 2×40 **right-angle edge connector** plugs directly onto the bottom edge of a BBC **micro:bit**, breaking out the edge contacts so you can route **GPIO**, **power**, and **ground** into your own PCB or wiring. The right-angle form factor keeps the micro:bit low-profile and makes it easy to mount flush to a custom board for neat, robust builds.

Compatibility-wise, it matches the **BBC micro:bit edge contact pattern** and is intended for micro:bit expansion/breakout designs. Note that while it’s an **80-pin (2×40)** connector, the micro:bit’s edge contacts vary in width, so some contacts may span multiple pins. Also, the **back row of pins is not connected** to the micro:bit—so plan your PCB footprint and routing accordingly.

It’s ideal for creating custom micro:bit carrier boards, classroom STEM add-ons, or permanent installations where a plug-in cable solution would be bulky or less reliable. Compared with using a clip-on/breadboard adapter, this connector is better when you’re designing a dedicated PCB and want a clean right-angle mechanical mount, but it’s less convenient for quick breadboard prototyping. If you’re building a full carrier board, consider pairing it with [Pin Headers](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/pin-headers) for board-to-board connections, [JST Connectors](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/jst-connectors) for power/peripherals, and [Hook-up Wire](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/hook-up-wire) for off-board signals.

### Key Features

- **Connector Type:** 2×40 **right-angle** micro:bit edge connector

- **Total Pins:** **80 pins** (2 rows of 40)

- **Compatibility:** **BBC micro:bit** edge contact pattern

- **Pin Access:** Access to **all edge contacts** including **GPIO**, **power**, and **GND**

- **Important Note:** **Back row not connected**; some micro:bit contacts may map to multiple pins due to contact width

- **Best Use:** **Custom PCB mounting** / breakout and expansion boards

- **In the Box:** 1× 2×40 right-angle edge connector

## Description

This 2×40 right-angle edge connector fits directly onto the bottom edge contacts of the BBC micro:bit, providing access to all GPIO pins, power, and ground connections. The right-angle design is ideal for mounting on custom PCBs. The connector has 80 pins total, but because the micro:bit edge contacts have varying widths, some contacts map to more than one pin. The back row of pins is not connected to the micro:bit. Key Features 80-Pin Connector – 2×40 right-angle edge connector micro:bit Compatible – Fits the BBC micro:bit edge contact pattern Full Pin Access – Access to all edge contacts including GPIO, power, and ground Right-Angle Design – Ideal for custom PCB mounting Ideal For Custom micro:bit breakout boards PCB-based micro:bit expansion projects Building your own micro:bit accessories Package Contents 1× 2×40 right-angle edge connector Tip: This connector is best suited for custom PCB designs. Some micro:bit contacts span multiple pins due to varying contact widths.
