Sequent SM-A-006 Daughter Card Kit
Overview
The SM-A-006 is a kit of daughter cards and small OEM boards from Sequent Microsystems that lets you adapt or replace popular development board form factors (Arduino Uno/Nano, Teensy, Feather/ESP32 and Raspberry Pi style) in prototypes or low-volume products. It provides a set of plug-in style boards and breakout daughter cards intended to simplify swapping board types or integrating those form factors onto custom hardware. The kit is aimed at rapid prototyping and board-level integration where multiple MCU/module formats need to be supported.
Why Choose This Part
The kit saves design time by letting you test multiple common board form factors with a single carrier board instead of redesigning PCBs for each board type. It is useful for development teams that need to evaluate tradeoffs between controllers or to provide a standardized carrier for customers using different ecosystems. The modular approach also reduces procurement complexity during prototyping and small-volume production.
Applications
Getting Started
Identify which form factors you need (Uno, Nano, Teensy, Feather/ESP32, Raspberry Pi) and confirm pin mapping and power requirements before plugging a board into the daughter card. Use the Arduino IDE or PlatformIO for Arduino/Nano/Feather targets, the Espressif ESP-IDF or Arduino core for ESP32 modules, and Teensyduino for Teensy boards. Always verify voltage levels and any required level shifting when mixing 3.3V and 5V boards.
