The Mini Black HAT Hack3r is a compact breakout board that lets you access all 40 GPIO pins on your Raspberry Pi while a HAT or pHAT is attached. It connects between your Pi and the HAT via a ribbon cable, bringing every pin out to clearly labelled headers for probing, debugging, or connecting additional circuits.
This is the fully assembled version with all pin headers pre-soldered, ready to use straight out of the box.
Key Features
- Full GPIO Breakout – Access all 40 pins while a HAT is running
- HAT & pHAT Landing Areas – Mount either form factor with PCB standoffs
- Clear Pin Labelling – Each pin marked with function name, BCM number, and physical pin number
- Pre-Assembled – All headers pre-soldered; ready to use immediately
- Non-Slip Feet – Rubber feet keep the board stable on your workbench
- 4 Mounting Holes – For securing in enclosures or to a workspace
Ideal For
- Debugging HAT and pHAT designs
- Combining a HAT with additional breadboard circuits
- Monitoring GPIO signals with a multimeter or logic analyser
Package Contents
- 1× Mini Black HAT Hack3r PCB (fully assembled)
- 1× 40-way GPIO ribbon cable
- 3× 40-way pin headers (pre-installed)
- 4× PCB standoffs for HAT mounting
- 4× Rubber non-slip feet
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- pHAT
- A smaller add-on board format for Raspberry Pi, similar in idea to a HAT but usually not full-sized. It matters because pHAT compatibility can affect how neatly a board stacks or fits into a Raspberry Pi project.
