The Adafruit Perma-Proto Raspberry Pi Breadboard PCB Kit combines a full-sized prototyping board with a built-in Pi Cobbler breakout for the original Raspberry Pi's 2×13 (26-pin) GPIO header. Solder in the included box header, connect a 26-pin GPIO cable, and you get labelled pin breakouts alongside 60 rows of breadboard-style prototyping space.

The PCB mirrors a standard breadboard layout with 5-hole connected pads, four power bus rails, and clear silkscreen labelling. All holes are through-plated with a gold finish for durability and easy rework — no flaking pads or copper oxidation. Multiple mounting holes let you secure the board in an enclosure.

Key Features

• Built-in Pi Cobbler – 2×13 header position with labelled GPIO breakouts
• 60-Row Breadboard Layout – Familiar 5-hole pad pattern for easy component transfer
• Through-Plated, Gold-Finished – Durable pads that resist oxidation and survive rework
• 1.2mm Drill Holes – Accommodates components with larger leads
• 4 Power Bus Rails – Side-mounted power and ground distribution
• Multiple Mounting Holes – Secure attachment to enclosures and project boxes
• Cuttable Traces – Unmasked bottom side allows easy trace modification

Ideal For

• Custom circuits for original Raspberry Pi Model A/B projects
• Transferring breadboard prototypes to permanent soldered PCBs
