Adafruit IDC Breakout Helper – 2×5 (10 pin)

Key Features:

• Comes in two parts: pin-through socket and male header
• Good and cheap hack for prototyping
• Works best when soldered in place
• Breadboard, Perma Proto and IDC cable NOT included!

This little 2×5 (10 pin – 0.1 spaced) IDC Breadboard Helper is great in conjunction with any of our 10-pin IDC cables. It comes in two parts, a ‘pin-through’ socket and a male header. The socket straddles the center of a breadboard or Perma-Proto and then header plugs into the top of the socket. Since IDC cables are so standard, but a royal pain to use with breadboards, this is a good and cheap hack for prototyping. Works best when soldered in place. We have used these to prototype on a solderless breadboard but some customers report their breadboards don’t play nice with the shorter pins so your mileage may vary
