BRK2X8 2x8 (16-pos) 0.1" Header Breakout Board Documents

General Description

This breakout board brings all 16 pins of its male dual row header out to screw terminal blocks for easy connection and prototyping work. Each pin is also brought to solder pads (5 per pin) at 0.1' spacing, allowing easy addition of 0.1' pin headers.

This break out board is perfect for experimentation and prototype work, as well as for use in the educational laboratory. It is well-suited for interfacing with microcontroller programming circuits, I/O ports, DAQ equipment, and any other device that uses a 2x8 16-position header connector. The headers on this breakout board comes standard with long ejector latches. 'Long ejectors' indicates that the ejectors are the correct length to accomodate IDC connectors with strain reliefs installed. A 'box header' without ejectors is also available as a special-order option. A dual row header is sometimes referred to as an 'IDC Header', 'IDC connector', or 'ribbon cable connector'. A breakout board is sometimes referred to as a 'transition module', 'terminal board', or 'interface module'.

For mounting on a panel, we suggest the rubber feet version (-FT), 1/4' nylon standoffs under the mounting holes, and #6 screws.

DIN Rail Mount Version The BRK2X8 is also available with DIN rail mounting clips for quick and convenient mounting where DIN rail is used. Product numbers ending with -DIN come with DIN clips already installed and ready to mount. The clips allow mounting on standard 35mm rail as well as 32mm rail.
