Prototyping! With the Prototyping Shield you make your projects rock solid. It makes it easy for you to design custom circuits and soldering electronics directly on it.
Arduino® Proto Shield The ProtoShield makes it easy for you to design your own circuits. You can easily solder TH or SMD ICs on the prototyping area to test with your Arduino board. The SMD area is designed for a maximum of 24 pins SOIC integrated circuit and the TH area contains plenty of space for the necessary components for your project. You can even stick a mini breadboard (not included) onto the proto area for solderless operation. The proto section also includes two power lines (IOREF and GND), two LED pads and SPI signal breakout pads for boards with SPI only on the ICSP header like Zero.
Key Features: - 1.0 Arduino pinout - 1 ICSP connector footprint - 2 LEDs and resistor area - IOREF and GND power lines - SPI signal pads - 24-pin SMD footprint (50 mils pitch)
