The Terminal Breakout board for BBC micro:bit breaks out all the signal &amp; power pins on the microbit to terminal blocks for a more permanent solderless solution

## Pricing

- **Price:** $10.89 (inc GST) — $9.90 AUD, exc GST

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 1 today; more stock is typically available with a 8–10 day lead time.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE06440:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE06440:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The Terminal Breakout board for the BBC [micro:bit](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-v2-australia.html) does exactly what it says on the tin. It breaks out all of the signal and power pins on the microbit to user friendly terminal blocks. No more untangling M/M or M/F jumper cables from the hastily tidied collection stashed in the corner of your drawer. Just cut a length of wire from one of your more tidy spools, strip off a bit of shielding and screw it into place in the appropriate terminal block. And, if you need to move your project for any reason, having the wires screwed in place means that you can do it without having to deal with the jumper connections that didn't survive the move. Build your circuit only once!

It features a terminal block breakout point for each BBC micro:bit IO pin, a switch-controlled input power terminal block, two output power terminal blocks (fed through power from the switched input) and [Link compatible](https://www.kitronik.co.uk/blog/link-accessory-board-standard-bbc-microbit-accessories) connections for other BBC micro:bit accessory boards.

Power is provided via the input terminal block. The board has no voltage regulator, or overvoltage protection, so the supply voltage **MUST NOT** exceed the rated supply of 3.3V for the BBC micro:bit.

**Note:**

If the BBC micro:bit is powered via its USB connector, there will be no power at the 3.3V terminal block output connections this is to provide some overcurrent protection for the BBC micro:bit.

To use the Terminal Breakout board, the BBC micro:bit needs to be firmly inserted into the edge connector in the centre of the board. The BBC micro:bit can face in either direction and all the terminal blocks will be fully functional.

**Features**

- Works with both the micro:bit V1 and [micro:bit V2](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-v2-australia.html)
- It breaks out all of the signal and power pins on the microbit to user friendly terminal blocks.
- Build permanent circuits that you move without worrying about jumper wires becoming detatched..
- It features a switch controlled power block and two output power terminal blocks.
- There is also built in overcurrent protection what using the USB connection to transfer data to the microbit.
- The microbit connects to the board via an edge connector that the microbit slots directly into, either way around.
- The board complies to the [Link Standard](https://www.kitronik.co.uk/blog/link-accessory-board-standard-bbc-microbit-accessories) that all Kitronik branded microbit accessories conform to.
