Need to do some prototyping with smôl? Or want to connect your smôl stack to a Qwiic board or your favorite SPI sensor? The smôl Header is the perfect solution!
Required Materials
If you want to connect a Qwiic board to your smôl stack, you're going to need some Qwiic cables:
KIT-15081
To make it even easier to get started, we've assembled this Qwiic Cable Kit with a variety of Qwiic cables from 50mm to 500mm…
CAB-17261
This polarized I2C cable insulation is made from silicon making it more flexible than our original Qwiic cable particularly i…
PRT-14425
This is a jumper adapter cable that comes pre-terminated with a female Qwiic JST connector on one end and a breadboard hookup…
PRT-14426
This is a 50mm long 4-conductor cable with 1mm JST termination. It’s designed to connect Qwiic enabled components together …
If you're prototyping with smôl, you may need:
PRT-00116
A row of headers - break to fit. 40 pins that can be cut to any size. Used with custom PCBs or general custom headers.
PRT-00112
Your first exposure to electrical engineering - the bread board. Who knew it would bring so much frustration?
This is your …
PRT-08431
This is a SparkFun exclusive! These are 155mm long, 26 AWG jumpers with male connectors on both ends. Use these to jumper fro…
PRT-12044
This red Mini Breadboard is a great way to prototype your small projects! With 170 tie points there's just enough room to bui…
The Header is part of the smôl ecosystem. Why not pair it with one of the smôl Processor Boards?

Don't forget that you will need Flexible Printed Circuits to connect your smôl boards together. You're going to need one FPC per board. Our 36mm FPC is the perfect length if you want the smôl boards to stack neatly, one on top of the other.
CAB-18731
This is the 36mm 16-way 0.5mm-pitch Flexible Printed Circuit used to interconnect smôl boards.
