- Pitch – 2.54mm (0.1″)
- Cable Length – 175mm
- Ends – Female socket on both ends
Compatibility
- Any Raspberry Pi with a 40-pin GPIO header (A+, B+, 2, 3, 4, 5, Zero, 400)
Ideal For
- Connecting to GPIO breakout boards
- Bridging GPIO to custom PCBs
- Prototyping with breadboard adapters

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout is a small circuit board that makes a tiny or hard-to-solder component easier to connect to with standard pins. It matters because this OLED module can be wired into a microcontroller project without needing to solder directly to the display’s fine contacts.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
