The Adafruit Quad Side-By-Side FeatherWing Kit lets you connect one Feather board to three FeatherWings simultaneously in a linear side-by-side layout — no stacking headers needed. All four sets of Feather pins are cross-connected, so every FeatherWing shares the same bus signals, power, and ground.
Each of the four positions includes prototyping space with three breakout pads per Feather pin, plus a grid of plain proto holes for custom circuitry. GND and 3.3 V have full strips of connected pads for easy power distribution. The kit includes the PCB and four sets of female headers — just solder them on and start building.
Key Features
- Side-By-Side Layout – Four Feather/FeatherWing sockets in a linear row
- Cross-Connected Pins – All four positions share the same bus signals
- Prototyping Area – Three breakout pads per pin plus grid proto holes at each position
- Power Distribution – Full connected strips for GND and 3.3 V
- No Stacking Required – Side-by-side layout eliminates the need for stacking headers
Package Contents
- 1× Quad Side-By-Side FeatherWing PCB
- 4× Sets of Feather female headers
Also Consider
- Quad 2×2 FeatherWing Kit – Same concept in a compact 2×2 grid layout instead of side-by-side
Ideal For
- Multi-FeatherWing projects without stacking
- Prototyping with multiple sensors and add-ons
- Creating custom Feather-based systems with a linear layout
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- FeatherWing
- A FeatherWing is an add-on board made to plug into the Feather microcontroller board layout. Knowing a product is a FeatherWing helps you check whether it will physically and electrically fit your Feather-style mainboard.
- GND
- GND is the ground or reference connection (0 V) for a circuit. When connecting two devices together, their grounds must be joined so both agree on what counts as a low or high signal.
- Headers
- Rows of connector contacts on a fixed pitch (commonly 2.54 mm) used to link a board to a breadboard, jumper wires, or another board. They come as male pin headers and female socket headers; when a module ships with pre-soldered headers it can be used straight away, whereas bare pads require soldering the pins yourself.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
