The Terminal Shield breaks out all the Arduino headers to handy screw terminals, making it really easy to connect external wires without using a soldering iron. Ideal for quick experiments or for robust connections!

The center area of the shield is also a huge prototyping area, allowing you to add your own parts to suit your project. A blue "power" LED shows when your Arduino is powered up, and there are also red, green, and blue general-purpose LEDs with current-limiting resistors. The Terminal Shield comes with all the supporting components already fitted as surface-mount parts so you can start using it right away, and we even provide stackable headers to allow you to mount another shield on top.

Features

  • Arduino 1.0 / "R3" layout breaks out all 30 pins on current-generation Arduino boards to screw terminals.
  • Plus 6 additional screw terminals providing additional ground and 5 screw connections (B1-B5) to the prototyping area.
  • Stackable headers to easily add another shield on top.
  • Gold-plated surface: solders easily and very resistant to finger oil, etc.
  • Large prototyping area with through-plated holes.
  • Clearly marked GND and 5V rails beside prototyping area.
  • Blue surface-mount “power on” LED.
  • 2 × 100nF power supply smoothing capacitors pre-fitted as surface-mount parts.
  • Reset button wired through to the Arduino so you can reset it even with the shield mounted over the top.
  • 3 general-purpose surface-mount LEDs (red, green, blue) with current limiting resistors pre-fitted: drive HIGH to illuminate.
  • Overlay printed on both the top and the bottom of the board so you don’t have to turn it over to see what you’re soldering onto.

Brilliant!
