Overview

This 40-pin GPIO ribbon cable is designed to extend the 2x20 header found on Raspberry Pi models. It features a 150mm length and provides a 1-to-1 connection for all signals, including power, ground, and I/O.

Why Choose This Part

The 40-pin configuration is fully compatible with modern Raspberry Pi pinouts. The 150mm length offers flexibility for internal routing without introducing excessive signal degradation or bulk.

Applications

Pi T-Cobbler Connection
Connecting a Raspberry Pi to a breakout board like the T-Cobbler for easier breadboarding.
Internal Enclosure Routing
Extending the GPIO header to an external panel or a secondary PCB within a custom chassis.
Hardware Prototyping
Bridging the gap between the SBC and external sensors or HATs that cannot be mounted directly.
