## Description

This handy **2x20 IDC Box Header** is the matching connector for Adafruit's [40-pin GPIO Cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/gpio-ribbon-cable-for-raspberry-pi-model-b-40-pins.html). By soldering this onto perf board you can run a GPIO cable from your Pi A+/B+/Pi 2/Pi 3 to the socket.

This is the same socket that comes with Adafruit's [Pi Cobbler Plus](https://core-electronics.com.au/assembled-pi-cobbler-plus-breakout-cable-for-raspberry-pi-b.html) or [Pi T-Cobbler Plus](https://core-electronics.com.au/assembled-pi-t-cobbler-plus-gpio-breakout-for-raspberry-pi-b.html) but without the PCBs or anything

This socket only works for the Raspberry Pi Model A+/B+/Pi 2/Pi 3 GPIO cables. **It does not work with the Raspberry Pi Model B** GPIO cables. It is just the socket.
