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 is a small circuit board that makes a tiny or hard-to-solder component easier to connect to with standard pins. It matters because this OLED module can be wired into a microcontroller project without needing to solder directly to the display’s fine 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 metal pins used to plug a module into a breadboard or connect it with jumper wires. Pre-soldered headers make the module easier to use straight away without needing to solder the pins yourself.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- 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.
