Description

The Qwiic Cable to Breadboard Jumper is a specialized 4-conductor conversion interconnect designed to bridge Qwiic-enabled modules directly with standard experimental breadboards and microcontroller header pins. Measuring 150 mm in length, this adapter cable features a 1 mm pitch female Qwiic JST connector on one end and individual 0.1-inch pitch male hookup pigtail pins on the other, allowing seamless integration without requiring custom soldering.

Constructed using flexible 28 AWG wire, the cable follows standardized color-coding (Red for 3.3V power, Black for Ground, Blue for SDA, and Yellow for SCL) to ensure error-free power and I2C signal routing. It provides a convenient bridge for connecting advanced I2C sensors and peripheral boards to traditional development platforms like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi.

Key Features

  • Hybrid Conversion Design: Features a 1 mm pitch female Qwiic JST connector on one end and 4 individual male hookup pins on the opposing end.
  • Optimal 150 mm Reach: Provides an ideal 15 cm length for routing signals between modular Qwiic boards and nearby breadboard rails.
  • Standardized Color Coding: Color-coded conductors (Red for 3.3V, Black for GND, Blue for SDA, Yellow for SCL) ensure clear visual tracking.
  • Standard 2.54mm (0.1 in) Pitch Pins: Male pigtail terminals mate securely with standard breadboard tie-points and female header sockets.
  • Flexible 28 AWG Wire: High-conductivity stranded conductors minimize mechanical strain on delicate peripheral connector ports.

Benefits

  • Solder-Free Prototyping: Enables instant connection of Qwiic sensors directly to experimental breadboards and development board headers.
  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Expands the usability of Qwiic and Stemma QT peripheral modules to standard microcontrollers lacking native JST ports.
  • Error-Proof Wiring: Standardized pin arrangement and color-coding prevent accidental miswiring of power and I2C communication lines.
  • Reusable Interconnect: Designed to withstand repeated plugging and unplugging cycles in active testing and development labs.
  • Cost-Effective Bridge: Eliminates the need for custom adapter boards when testing modular hardware components.

Applications

  • Breadboard Sensor Testing: Connecting Qwiic-enabled environmental, motion, and optical sensors directly to standard breadboard circuits.
  • Microcontroller Interfacing: Linking Qwiic peripheral modules to Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi development pins via male jumper pigtails.
  • Prototyping & Test Rigs: Providing quick, temporary signal links during hardware debugging and diagnostic testing phases.
  • Custom Enclosure Wiring: Bridging internal JST-connected components to main control boards mounted on standard header pins.
  • Educational Electronics: Simplifying multi-sensor wiring for students and makers learning digital communication and I2C protocols.

Package Includes

  • 1 x 150 mm Qwiic Cable to Breadboard Jumper (4-Pin)
