Featuring a standard 0.1" grid with gold-plated pads, dual power capacitors for stability, and flexible header options, it empowers makers to customize and expand their projects with ease. Ideal for both beginners and pros, this kit offers reliable performance and seamless integration for rapid prototyping. ## Description AdafruitProto Shield for Arduino Kit - Stackable Version R3 ## Features - This prototyping shield is the best out there (well, we think so, at least), and now is even better with Version R3 - updated for the most compatibility with just about all the Arduinos! It works with UNO, Mega, Leonardo, NG, Diecimila, Duemilanove, and compatible Arduinos. Yun's and Arduino Ethernets have a chunky Ethernet jack that gets in the way of stacking, you can use the stacking headers included and it will work, just doesn't sit nice and flat. - It has a nice standard 0.1"x0.1" prototying grid with big pads. Comes with Stacking headers and plain header, choose whichever you want when soldering together. A IC pattern for adding DIP ICs up to 20 pins - Power rails down the middle and sides, A reset button and an extra general use button, 2 3mm general use LEDs, red and green, as well as 2 matching resistors, A pass-thru ICSP stacking header so you can stack any kind of shield on top, and/or use an AVR programmer, A surface-mount chip area for up to 14 SOIC size parts - Compatible with tiny breadboards, Every pin is brought out!, Gold plated pads, 2 x 0.1uF capacitors on either side for extra power stability - Soldering Required: Comes as a kit of parts so you can choose how you want to configure your shield. However its very easy to assemble even for beginning solderers. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Adafruit | | Series | Stackable | | Item model number | 8541582350 | | Hardware Platform | Arduino | | Item Weight | 0.64 ounces | | Product Dimensions | 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.4 inches | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.4 inches | | Manufacturer | Adafruit | | ASIN | B00N426HCG | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Date First Available | August 28, 2014 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Adafruit - **Model Name:** Stackable - **Connectivity Technology:** ICSP - **Compatible Devices:** UNO, Mega, Leonardo, NG, Diecimila, Duemilanove, compatible, Esplora, Due, Zero, MKR1000, MKRZero, 101, Gemma, Trinket, Feather, Metro, RedBoard, Micro, Mini, Fio, LilyPad, Teensy, and any other boards with the correct headers microcontroller architecture - **Product Dimensions:** 2.5"L x 2.5"W x 0.4"H ## Images ![AdafruitProto Shield for Arduino Kit - Stackable Version R3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61f2pZHg69L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great proto shield *by A***R on March 22, 2016* Excellent! I could not be happier with this proto shield. As expected from Adafruit, it is a beautiful, high quality shield. It does not come assembled, which I was both expecting and looking forward to. It arrived promptly, in a bubble envelope. I was somewhat disappointed with the packaging, everything was in loose plastic bags and a few of the pins on some of the headers were bent. No major damage, they bent back easily. But thats a seller issue, not a product issue.It comes with both female stacking headers and normal male headers, I chose to use the stacking headers. Mine came with an extra 8-pin stacking header. As to the normal headers, there were more than enough to get the job done. It comes with a green and a red LED, 2 matching resistors, 2 matching capacitors, and 2 button-switches. These components all need to be soldered to the shield.I am a college student, and not accomplished with a soldering iron. I was looking forward to assembling this myself to brush up on my soldering skills. The instructions, found on the adafruit website (not physically provided), areV clear, complete, and easy to follow. There are multiple pictures and an explanation for each step. I had no problems assembling it, everything lines up with the arduino uno perfectly. I had my iron at 300 degrees Celsius.It does not come with a breadboard, but can accommodate boards of different lengths. In addition to the normal header power and ground, it has ground and 5 V rails running down the top/bottom, center and along the right side of the PCB. One of the button switches connects to the uno reset, and the other is optional. You can connect to it if it suits your application.This suits my needs perfectly and I will purchase again if/when I want another shield. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked great *by J*** on March 10, 2023* Worked great for building my simple RFID Scanner. Some reviews dinged this product because assembly was required. Isn’t soldering and assembling components part of the electronics hobby? Anyway works great and allows me to snap projects on and off off my arduino. Instructions online were easy to follow ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as advertised *by K***O on October 16, 2023* Excellent for building finished circuits on the Arduino --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/7677544-adafruitproto-shield-for-arduino-kit-stackable-version-r3](https://www.desertcart.be/products/7677544-adafruitproto-shield-for-arduino-kit-stackable-version-r3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
