The Terminal Block Shield for Arduino replaces loose jumper wires with secure screw-terminal connections, making your wiring stable and reliable. Each Arduino pin is broken out to a 3.5 mm pitch terminal block, and multiple 3.3V, 5V, and GND ports are provided for convenient power distribution.
The shield accepts 7–24V DC input without requiring an additional buck converter, and its taller pin headers allow it to stack with the Arduino Uno Ethernet Shield and similar boards. It supports wire sizes from 26 AWG to 16 AWG.
Key Features
- Screw-Terminal Connections – Secure, vibration-resistant wiring for every Arduino pin
- Multiple Power Ports – Several 3.3V, 5V, and GND terminals for easy distribution
- 7–24V DC Input – Wide voltage range with no external buck converter needed
- 3.5 mm Terminal Block Pitch – Accepts 26–16 AWG wire (5 mm strip length)
- Stackable Design – Taller pin headers for compatibility with Ethernet Shield and other shields
- Max Load Power – 10W
- Dimensions – 68.6 × 53.3 mm
Ideal For
- Permanent installations and commercial projects
- Art installations and exhibitions
- Any Arduino project where reliable wiring is critical

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- AWG
- American Wire Gauge is a numbering system for wire thickness, where a lower number means a thicker wire. The AWG rating matters because thicker wire can usually carry more current with less voltage drop and heating.
- 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.
- Shield
- An add-on board that plugs into a main controller board to give it extra features such as sensing, motor control or communication. Knowing a product supports shields helps you judge whether it can connect neatly into an existing maker-board setup.
- Terminal block
- A connector used to join wires together in a neat, removable, or serviceable way. For this product, it helps split one power input into several outputs without soldering.
