The aluminium is electrically and thermally conductive, so take care when using metal screws unless you intentionally want the whole plate to act as a ground plane.The grid uses a 5x5 block layout with dots, holes and slots to help line up many common 0.1 inch mounting patterns. The aluminium can also be cut, drilled, machined or bent if your project needs more customisation.Adafruit also provides a KiCad Python script grid generator if you want to make your own grid in another size.Specifications:Plate thickness: 0.062" thick aluminum plateMounting compatibility: For 0.1" grid mounting projectsDimensions: 3" x 3" dimensionsGrid generator: KiCad Python script grid generator available for making any size your desireProduct Dimensions: 75.0mm x 75.0mm x 1.5mm / 3.0" x 3.0" x 0.1"Product Weight: 13.6g / 0.5ozSquare size: 0.6" x 0.6"Hole and slot spacing: every 0.2 inchesDrill hole diameter: 0.1" / 2.54mm diameterSlot size: 0.11" x 0.3" (2.75 x 7.5mm)Block layout: 5x5 'blocks'Overall size: 3" x 3" in size or about 75x75mmA handy mounting base for prototypes, sensor clusters and compact STEMMA QT builds where a breadboard is not part of the final mechanical design. **Product Type:** PCB Mounting Plate ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDU7gCSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--3d8a497be5d7f3c656c7b20eb44af3e41a669dac/5779-05.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDVbgCSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--95b0370524e49449e1d569a9dcf07dfd18595c67/5779-03.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDWbgCSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--a0a219298aaf496b084f93514a3b86c29be26645/5779-02.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDXLgCSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--50c48049691d6f7a1cc534c3be7990825b6c190f/5779-01.jpg) - [Image 5](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDX7gCSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--a3dfe6293391554116a7072b0a7d1902aa17148e/5779-04.jpg) --- ## Finding & Searching Products If a part listed here isn't quite what you need, you can search Little Bird Electronics' full catalogue: - **Search by keyword:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={search_term}` — searches title, vendor, SKU, tags, and MPN - **Search via JSON:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.json?q={search_term}` — structured JSON results - **Browse by collection:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/{handle}.json` — products in a specific collection - **Filter in-stock only:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={term}&in_stock=1` - **Individual product detail:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/{handle}.md` — full specs, pricing, stock levels, variants Search supports multi-word queries (AND logic).
