SparkFun microSD Transflash Breakout
Overview
The SparkFun BOB-00544 is a compact breakout board for microSD cards that converts the high-density surface mount pins of a microSD socket to a standard 0.1 inch pitch header. It features a push-push type socket for secure card retention and easy removal. This board allows engineers to quickly add mass storage to projects using a breadboard or through-hole prototyping area.
Why Choose This Part
This breakout simplifies hardware integration by providing a 7-position plated through-hole interface that is compatible with standard breadboards. The push-push mechanism ensures the card is physically locked in place, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection during operation.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Connect the breakout to an SPI-capable microcontroller using VCC, GND, MISO, MOSI, SCK, and CS pins. Ensure your system uses 3.3V logic as the board does not include level shifters; a voltage divider or logic level converter is required for 5V systems like the Arduino Uno.
