Take your micro:bit projects off the desk and onto the breadboard. This T-type breakout board slots your micro:bit into a standard breadboard. It brings the edge connector pins out to a neat, labelled row, so wiring up LEDs, buttons, sensors and modules is quick and mistake-free.
The onboard voltage conversion supplies both 3.3V and 5V. You can safely power the micro:bit and still run 5V components on the same breadboard. The regulated supply gives a smoother, more stable output than improvised power setups, which means fewer glitches and more reliable results.
Its compact T-shaped design keeps your breadboard free for components. That makes it ideal for classroom experiments, prototyping and quick tests.

- Plugs directly into a standard breadboard
- Clearly labelled pin breakout for easy, accurate wiring
- Small footprint leaves more breadboard space for your experiments
- Great for STEM education, beginners and rapid prototyping
Please note: micro:bit and breadboard not included.
Before publishing, check two details against the supplier's spec sheet. First, confirm it works with both V1 and V2 micro:bits. Second, check whether it supplies 5V from the input or converts 5V down to 3.3V. You could then add a line such as "Compatible with micro:bit V1 and V2" or "Input voltage: 5V". It's also worth suggesting a matching breadboard and jumper wire pack from your Electronics section as an add-on.
