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 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.
