The Proto Shield (Prototype) for Arduino Uno is the ultimate prototyping add-on for Arduino boards. Designed for flexibility and convenience, this shield allows you to build custom circuits directly on top of your Arduino Uno or compatible board without needing a separate breadboard. It’s perfect for creating durable and reliable Arduino-based applications and projects.
Featuring a standard 0.1″ x 0.1″ grid prototyping area with gold-plated pads, this shield includes extra headers, buttons, LEDs, and power rails for maximum utility. Whether you’re using it with an Uno, Mega, Leonardo, NG, Diecimila, or Duemilanove, this shield simplifies circuit design and reduces wiring clutter. It also includes SOIC and DIP IC footprints, making it ideal for mixed SMD and through-hole prototyping.
