The original Adafruit Motorshield kit is one of our most beloved kits, which is why we decided to make something even better. We have upgraded the shield kit to make the bestest, easiest way to drive...

When soldering small surface-mount (SMD/SMT) components, one thing you'll need is a good pair of tweezers. These tweezers are a great pair of every-day tweezers. They're anti-static, anti-magnetic...

A mini class D with AGC and I2C control? Yes please! This incredibly small stereo amplifier is surprisingly powerful. It is able to deliver 2 x 2.8W channels into 4 ohm impedance speakers (@ 10% THD)...

This here is a 10 pack of the classic 1N4001 power blocking diode. These are good for reverse polarity protection (put it between your DC power jack and circuitry to avoid a negative-voltage that...

Need some really bright LEDs? We are big fans of these clear green LEDs, in fact we use them exclusively in our kits. They are very bright and have about 20degree LED beam. They go easily into a...

Get the most out of your regulators, transistors and other TO-220 packaged chips by clipping on a heat-sink. Your transistor or regulator may advertise it can handle high currents but when multiplied...

Pipe audio in or out of your project with this very handy breadboard-friendly audio jack. It's a stereo jack with disconnect-switches on Left and Right channels as well as a center ground pin. You...

You can now create a dazzling display with your Raspberry Pi Model A+/B+/Pi 2 with the Adafruit RGB Matrix HAT. This HAT plugs into your Pi and makes it super easy to control RGB matrices such as...

If the product is out of stock - please consider the alternative product. This is a pre-wired and waterproofed version of the DS18B20 sensor. Handy for when you need to measure something far away,...

Adafruit 996 - Brass Liquid Solenoid Valve - 12V - 1/2 Inch G / BSP Thread Control the flow of fluid using the flow of electrons! This liquid valve would make a great addition to your...

Need to add analog inputs? This chip will add 8 channels of 10-bit analog input to your microcontroller or microcomputer project. It's super easy to use, and uses SPI so only 4 pins are required. We...

The classic 'third hand tool,' as seen on every desk! We have one next to our Panavise jr, they complement each other well. This tool is good for holding small PCBs and wires for tinning or soldering...

Add a power switch to any USB-powered project simply by plugging this between the USB power port and the USB cable. This is the most useful thing you never knew you needed! You'll want to pick up a...

Not just a simple breakout board, this microSD adapter goes the extra mile - designed for ease of use. Onboard 5v->3v regulator provides 150mA for power-hungry cards 3v level shifting means...

Because the Arduino (and Basic Stamp) are 5V devices, and most modern sensors, displays, flash cards and modes are 3.3V-only, many makers find that they need to perform level shifting/conversion to...

These are our favorite trimpots, perfect for breadboarding and prototyping. They have a long grippy adjustment knob and with 0.1" spacing they plug into breadboards or perfboards with ease. This is...

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...

Nothing makes a project harder to maintain than a lot of loose wiring. That's why we like to use terminal blocks whenever making PCB-to-Wire connections. These particular 3.5mm terminal blocks are...

After a long day out harvesting in the terminal block fields, we've returned with a veritable bounty of these very nice and compact 2.54mm/0.1" terminal blocks in a variety of sizes. Our harvest of...

This potentiometer is a two-in-one, good in a breadboard or with a panel. Its a fairly standard linear taper 10K ohm potentiometer, with a grippy shaft. Its smooth and easy to turn, but not so loose...
