Breakout Boards

Fleeting

A separate board for a single purpose, to mitigate messing up with the wires.

Breakout boards, in a nutshell, make using a single electrical component, sensor, or chip simple and easy.

A breakout board will take these pins and “break them out” onto a separate circuit board. Hence the name. This new circuit board is usually smaller and has pins perfectly spaced to fit onto a solderless breadboard .
