The Pimoroni Mini Black HAT Hack3r breaks out all 40 GPIO pins from your Raspberry Pi while still allowing a HAT or pHAT to sit on top. Connect via the included ribbon cable and access every pin — labelled with function name, BCM number, and physical pin number — for easy debugging, prototyping, or combining a HAT with additional circuits.
Compatible with any Raspberry Pi featuring a 2×20 GPIO header, including the Pi Zero, Pi 3, Pi 4, and Pi 5. Comes fully assembled with headers pre-soldered.
Key Features
- Full GPIO Breakout – Access all 40 pins while a HAT or pHAT is connected
- Fully Assembled – Headers pre-soldered, ready to use out of the box
- Clearly Labelled – Every pin marked with function, BCM number, and physical pin number
- HAT & pHAT Landing Area – Mounting area with PCB standoffs for secure attachment
- Non-Slip Feet – Rubber feet keep the board stable on your desk
Ideal For
- Debugging HAT and pHAT designs
- Combining a HAT with breadboard circuits
- GPIO prototyping and testing
Package Contents
- 1× Mini Black HAT Hack3r PCB (fully assembled)
- 1× 40-way black 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.
