micro:bit or CLUE Connector - Sunken Right Angle Type

If you're eager to explore more with the BBC micro:bit, accessing the pins from the card - edge connector is your first challenge. Unlike most dev - boards, the micro:bit isn't easy to use with a breadboard. This makes it durable and simple to manufacture, but you'll need a special connector. This surface - mount edge connector is super slim and fully SMT, making automation a piece of cake. It has contacts on only one side, just like the micro:bit, so you save money by paying only for the contacts you'll use. This is a Sunken Right - Angle style connector. It allows the CLUE or micro:bit to plug in and align with the PCB instead of sitting above it. We love this connector for its helpful embossed pinout. We also offer a Right - Angle style where the Clue or micro:bit lies parallel and above the PCB, as well as a Straight style.

Using this connector is quite easy. First, if you have a BBC micro:bit or a CLUE, just plug it into the connector. For the Sunken Right - Angle style, it will fit nicely and align with the PCB. Make sure to align the pins correctly when plugging in to avoid any damage. When handling the connector, be gentle as it's a delicate electronic part. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity. To maintain it, keep it clean and dry. If there's any dust, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it. Also, when not in use, store it in a safe place to prevent it from getting bent or broken.
