The Adafruit Terminal PiCowbell with Pre-Soldered Sockets gives your Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico W instant plug-and-play access to every GPIO pin via screw terminal blocks. Simply plug in your Pico and connect 18–26 AWG solid or stranded core wires to any of the 40 terminal blocks — one for each pin — making it perfect for prototyping and permanent wired installations.

Unlike the headerless version, this PiCowbell comes with single-row socket headers pre-soldered, so there's no soldering required to get started. The board also includes a right-angle reset button, a STEMMA QT / Qwiic connector for I2C devices, and a central prototyping area with connected strips.

Key Features

  • 40 Screw Terminal Blocks – One for each Pico pad, using four 10-pin 2.54mm pitch terminal blocks for 18–26 AWG wire
  • Pre-Soldered Socket Headers – Plug in your Pico or Pico W immediately with no soldering required
  • Right-Angle Reset Button – Conveniently positioned at the board edge for easy access
  • STEMMA QT / Qwiic Connector – Right-angle JST SH connector wired to 3V, GND, IO4 (SDA), and IO5 (SCL), with extra breakout holes for additional I2C connections or reassignment
  • Mini Prototyping Area – 12 rows of 4-hole connected strips in the centre, usable like a mini breadboard (traces can be cut if needed)
  • Duplicate Hole Pads – Every Pico pad has a neighbouring hole for solder-jumpering
  • Ground and Power Strips – Ground pads marked with white silkscreen rectangles, plus dedicated long strips for ground and 3.3V power
  • Gold-Plated Pads – Easy, reliable soldering throughout the board
Note: This version comes with pre-soldered socket headers. While this makes setup instant, it means you cannot substitute short headers or stacking headers. If you need a different header configuration, consider the version without pre-soldered sockets.
Tip: No I2C pull-ups are included on the board — most STEMMA QT / Qwiic breakouts already have them onboard. If using the Philhower Arduino core, Wire is pre-configured for IO4 and IO5. For CircuitPython or MicroPython, set SDA to pin 4 and SCL to pin 5.

Ideal For

  • Quick plug-and-play setups with the Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico W
  • Permanent wired installations using solid or stranded core wire
  • I2C sensor chains via STEMMA QT / Qwiic
  • Projects requiring easy wire-to-GPIO access without soldering to the Pico
