DIYables Proto Screw Shield Assembled Terminal Block Prototype Expansion Board for Arduino Uno
Click to zoom
Quick Overview
The DIYables Proto Screw Shield is a professional-grade expansion board designed for Arduino UNO-form factor boards (UNO R3, UNO R4 WiFi, UNO R4 Minima, Leonardo, Zero) and Mega-form factor boards (Mega 2560, Due, Giga R1 WiFi). This pre-assembled shield features screw terminal blocks for every Arduino pin, making it incredibly easy to create secure, permanent wire connections without soldering or dealing with loose jumper wires.
Perfect for projects requiring reliable external connections, this shield eliminates the frustration of loose wires and unstable breadboard connections. All Arduino pins are broken out to clearly labeled screw terminals, allowing you to quickly connect sensors, motors, relays, displays, and other components with just a screwdriver. The shield also includes a solderable prototyping area for adding custom circuits and extra components directly on the board.
Whether you're building a home automation system, robotics project, industrial controller, or any Arduino application requiring solid wire connections, this Proto Screw Shield provides a professional solution. The combination of screw terminals, female headers, and prototyping area makes it ideal for both temporary testing and permanent installations, perfect for makers, students, engineers, and hobbyists working on reliable Arduino projects.
Key Features
- Pre-Assembled Screw Terminals – All screw terminal blocks come fully assembled and ready to use – no soldering required for terminal installation, just plug the shield and start connecting wires
- All Pins Accessible – Every Arduino pin (digital, analog, power, ground, communication) is broken out to clearly labeled screw terminals for easy identification and secure wire connections
- Universal Compatibility – Works with both UNO-form factor boards (Arduino UNO R3, R4 WiFi, R4 Minima, Leonardo, Zero, DIYables STEM boards) and Mega-form factor boards (Mega 2560, Due, Giga R1 WiFi)
- Solderable Prototyping Area – Includes generous PCB space for soldering additional components, custom circuits, resistors, capacitors, ICs, and other electronics directly on the shield
- Female Pin Headers – Features standard female headers allowing the shield to stack on Arduino boards and enabling use of additional shields on top if needed
- Secure Wire Connections – Screw terminals provide strong, vibration-resistant connections ideal for permanent installations, robotics, industrial applications, and projects requiring reliability
- Easy Wire Management – No more loose jumper wires or unreliable breadboard connections – simply strip wire ends, insert into terminals, and tighten with a screwdriver
- Stackable Design – Can be stacked on Arduino boards and combined with other compatible shields for expanded functionality in multi-layer projects
- Wide Wire Compatibility – Screw terminals accept solid and stranded wires in various gauges, perfect for connecting different types of sensors, motors, and external components
- Professional Solution – Ideal for creating clean, organized, permanent Arduino installations in enclosures, control panels, robotics projects, and industrial automation systems
- Perfect for Learning – Great for students and beginners learning Arduino without the complexity of soldering or frustration of loose breadboard connections
- Versatile Applications – Excellent for home automation, motor control, sensor networks, relay boards, industrial controllers, robotics, and any project requiring solid external connections
