PiFace SHIM GPIO Duplication Board
for Raspberry Pi
Mfg Part No: SHIM
Features
Does not use up the Raspberry Pi GPIO headers.
Compatible with Raspberry Pi Models (A, B and B )
Works with 26 or 40 Raspberry Pi GPIO header pins
Overview
SHIM is a blank PCB that works with all current Raspberry PI
models including the new Model B with 40 GPIOs to duplicate
the header pins without losing the use of the headers for
additional add on boards or connectors. The SHIM has two sets
of plated thru holes in the same RPI GPIO configuration with
the relative holes connected together. With one set of holes
placed over the Raspberry Pi headers the other set of holes on
the SHIM can accommodate header pins, wires, etc. to support
the users application while not covering up the RPI header pins
for additional add on boards.
Key Applications: Duplicates RPI GPIO pins for connection
to a breadboard, easier access pins as test points, and the ability to attach pins or wires to the SHIM/GPIO for working with
your applications.
