Proto Shield Prototype V3.0 for Arduino Mega with mini Breadboard

Proto Shield Prototype V3.0 for Arduino Mega with mini Breadboard

The Proto Shield Prototype V3.0 is an advanced prototyping accessory designed for the Arduino Mega 2560, Mega ADK, and compatible boards. It provides an integrated platform for designing, testing, and building circuits without the need for external wiring or breadboards.

This shield combines a large solderable prototyping area with a removable 170-point mini breadboard, offering unmatched versatility for both temporary and permanent circuit development. It’s the ideal choice for makers, students, hobbyists, and engineers who need a reliable, easy-to-use interface for circuit experimentation.

The shield brings all the digital (D0–D53), analog (A0–A15), and power pins of the Arduino Mega to clearly labeled headers and through-hole connection points, making circuit design straightforward and organized.
