Arduino® Nano Screw Terminal Adapter

Description

The Arduino® Nano Screw Terminal Adapter is a quick, secure, and solderless solution for your next Nano project. It allows easy connection of external components to screw terminals and utilizes an onboard prototyping area for evaluating ideas and solutions. This adapter facilitates switching between various Nano family boards without soldering, while keeping the rest of your project intact.

Target areas:

• Maker
• Nano projects
• Prototyping

Features

• Screw connectors:
  • 30 screw connectors exposing all I/O pins from your Nano board.
  • 2 screw connectors providing additional ground connections.
  • Silk labeling for quick and easy reference.
• Through hole:
  • 9x8 through-hole prototyping area.
• Nano socket:
  • Low profile connector for high mechanical stability.
  • All pins are accessible via standard breadboard holes.
• Mounting Holes:
  • 4x 3.2mm diameter holes.
  • Easy integration into your own projects.

The Adapter

The Arduino® Nano Screw Terminal Adapter was developed to assist users in building robust projects quickly and easily, adding small circuits for extra control without the need for soldering. It addresses the need for a fast and secure way to connect external components to Arduino Nano boards.

Compatible Boards

Note: Please refer to each board's datasheet for further information about power and their capacity.

Application Examples

• Motor Driver Design: Evaluate motor drivers and other smaller circuits on the prototyping area.
• External debugging: All standard Nano pins are accessible via both breadboard-compatible pin headers and screw terminals. This allows for direct probing of signals with a multimeter or oscilloscope while the device is under operation.
• Rapid solution development: Quickly connect to external circuitry with pin headers or screw terminals to evaluate new ideas. Rapidly prototype circuits and evaluate various Nano boards to choose the best option for your application.

Functional Overview

Board Topology

Top View

The top view of the board shows the arrangement of I/O pins, power connections, and the USB interface. Key pin labels include D0-D13, A0-A7, 3.3V, 5V, GND, VIN, RST, TX, RX, AREF, and others. It also indicates the location of connectors J17 and J18.

Bottom View

The bottom view illustrates the prototyping area, which consists of a 9x8 grid of through-holes, and the mounting holes for securing the adapter.

Headers

The board features two 15-pin connectors that can be assembled with pin headers or soldered using castellated vias.
