Overview
The Adafruit 85 is a shrouded board-to-board connector designed to provide stacking capability for Arduino R3 compatible shields. These headers enable engineers to layer multiple expansion boards on an Arduino baseboard, facilitating complex prototypes and integrated systems. With a height of 8.8mm above the PCB, it ensures adequate clearance between stacked boards.
Why Choose This Part
This shrouded header ensures proper alignment and connection integrity when stacking Arduino shields, preventing accidental inversions or misalignments. Its 8.8mm height provides sufficient clearance for components on the lower board. The board-to-board connector type is specifically designed for reliable modular expansion in prototyping and embedded applications.
Applications
