Product description
IDC Breakout Helper – 2x20 (40 pin) is a highly practical accessory for use with breadboards and development with e.g. Raspberry Pi. The product is designed to break out all GPIO signals from a 40-pin IDC cable to a breadboard or prototyping board, simplifying development, testing, and troubleshooting.
It consists of two parts: an IDC socket (pass-through connector) and a straight dual pin header. The socket is placed over the center gap of a breadboard, making all signals easily accessible. The pin header is connected from above and enables further connections to external circuits.
The solution is particularly useful for users who want to work with Raspberry Pi GPIO without soldering directly onto the board or using more advanced breakout boards. It works with standard 40-pin GPIO ribbon cables and provides a flexible development environment.
