40-Pin Prototyping Boards
Mikronauts is introducing 40-pin GPIO versions of their popular EZasPi series of prototyping boards.
All boards in the EZas line are silkscreened on both
sides so that power and signal busses are highlighted,
taking the guesswork out of finding the signals under the
solder mask.
EZasPi boards are designed to minimize the need for
jumper wires by careful component placement, and were
specifically designed to be easy to prototype with servo
headers and screw terminals.
Educational users in particular will find the clear
silkscreening to be helpful in teaching environments.
All of the EZas line of prototyping boards are high
quality FR4, ROHS, lead free gold immersion (ENIG) boards.
Two new products in the EZas line that are designed for the
Raspberry Pi are:
EZasPiA 85 mm x 65 mm
• Pi connector labeled on both sides
• Raspberry Pi A+ mounting holes
• Large prototyping area
• Servo and screw terminal friendly
• EZas silkscreening
• I2C header pads
• COM header pads
• Stacking headers available
EZasPiB 85 mm x 56 mm
• Connector labeled on both sides
• Raspberry Pi B+ mounting holes
• Extra large prototyping area
• Servo and screw terminal friendly
• EZas silkscreening
• I2C header pads
• Stacking headers available
Quantity pricing is available for distributors and
educational organizations.
