Breakout

Breakout boards convert small, difficult-to-solder ICs and sensors into breadboard-friendly modules with 2.54mm pin headers, onboard decoupling, and often level-shifting or voltage regulation. They allow rapid evaluation and prototyping without custom PCB design.

This collection covers standalone breakout boards for LED drivers, display controllers, communication ICs, DACs, ADCs, and other specialised components that complement the sensor and module ranges stocked at Kuriosity.

Breakout boards are used in Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi projects for quick integration of specific ICs, in university and polytechnic electronics lab work for component evaluation, and by engineers who need to test a component's behaviour in circuit before committing to a custom PCB layout.
