Overview
The Pololu 2597 is a compact breakout board designed to provide easy access to the pins of a microSD card. It converts the dense surface-mount microSD pinout to a standard 0.100 inch (2.54mm) pitch header format, making it compatible with breadboards and standard prototyping wires.
Why Choose This Part
This breakout board simplifies the physical integration of microSD storage by handling the fine-pitch soldering required for the card connector. It includes a through-hole for mechanical stability and uses a standard 11-pin layout that fits directly into standard breadboard rails.
Applications
Prototyping Data Loggers
Easily add high-capacity storage to microcontroller projects for logging sensor data over time.
Breadboard Development
Interface microSD cards with DIP-package microcontrollers or dev boards without custom PCB fabrication.
Embedded File Systems
Use with SPI or SDIO libraries to manage configuration files or firmware updates in embedded systems.
