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.\n\nUnlike 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.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n40 Screw Terminal Blocks – One for each Pico pad, using four 10-pin 2.54mm pitch terminal blocks for 18–26 AWG wire\n\nPre-Soldered Socket Headers – Plug in your Pico or Pico W immediately with no soldering required\n\nRight-Angle Reset Button – Conveniently positioned at the board edge for easy access\n\nSTEMMA 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\n\nMini Prototyping Area – 12 rows of 4-hole connected strips in the centre, usable like a mini breadboard (traces can be cut if needed)\n\nDuplicate Hole Pads – Every Pico pad has a neighbouring hole for solder-jumpering\n\nGround and Power Strips – Ground pads marked with white silkscreen rectangles, plus dedicated long strips for ground and 3.3V power\n\nGold-Plated Pads – Easy, reliable soldering throughout the board\n\n\n\nNote: 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.\n\n\n\nTip: 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.\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nQuick plug-and-play setups with the Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico W\nPermanent wired installations using solid or stranded core wire\nI2C sensor chains via STEMMA QT / Qwiic\nProjects requiring easy wire-to-GPIO access without soldering to the Pico\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Adafruit Terminal PiCowbell for Pico (with screw terminal blocks and socket headers pre-soldered)\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":1127,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-5907","mpn":"ADA5907","price":22.07,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":64,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
