The Pluggable Breakout Card consists of a main card with pluggable connectors and two add-on cards which can piggy-back on top of the main card.
The main card routes all Raspberry Pi GPIO pins to heavy-duty pluggable terminal blocks. The 2x20 pin header can be plugged into Raspberry Pi or into any stackable expansion card.
BREAKOUT KIT MAIN BOARD
The Raspberry Pi GPIO pins are first connected to a 2x20 hole array placed right under the 2x20 connector. From here, the pins are routed to three 2x12 pin headers placed on the left, bottom and right side of the board, right next to the pluggable connectors. The pin headers serve a double purpose. The GPIO pins can be routed to the outside world by installing jumpers on the corresponding pin headers, or transferred to one of the two Add-On Breadboard Cards for Surface Mount projects.
All GPIO pins on the main board are labeled for easy identification.
A 12 x 22 hole array allows you to experiment with your Through Hole projects. The top row of holes is a VCC bus bar which you can connect to 3.3V or 5V through a 3 pin jumper. The bottom row provides a convenient ground bus.
