No electronics toolkit is complete without the right connections. SunFounder offers a comprehensive selection of cables tailored for microcontrollers.
○ Jumper Wires: The bread and butter of prototyping. We stock Male-to-Male, Male-to-Female, and Female-to-Female bundles in various lengths and colors.
○ Video Cables: Connect your single-board computer to a monitor with our specialized Raspberry Pi cable options, including Micro-HDMI to HDMI and Mini-HDMI adapters supporting 4K resolution.
○ Data & Power: Ensure stable power delivery with our USB-C and Micro-USB cables, capable of handling the current requirements of development boards.
○ GPIO Ribbon Cables: Designed to extend the 40-pin header of your Raspberry Pi to a T-Cobbler or expansion board, protecting the board's pins from wear.
○ JST Connectors: Ideal for connecting batteries, motors, and sensors securely, preventing accidental disconnections during robot movement.
○ Alligator Clips: Perfect for testing connections quickly or attaching to conductive thread in wearable technology projects.
○ What cable do I need for Raspberry Pi 5?
The Raspberry Pi 5 (and 4) uses Micro-HDMI ports for video output and USB-C for power. Ensure you choose a high-quality Micro-HDMI to HDMI cable capable of 4K60Hz transmission.
○ Are your jumper wires compatible with breadboards?
Yes, our jumper wires feature standard 2.54mm pitch pins, making them perfectly compatible with all standard breadboards and Arduino headers.
○ What is the difference between ribbon cables and jumper wires?
Jumper wires are individual cables used for point-to-point connections, while ribbon cables connect multiple pins (like the entire GPIO block) simultaneously, keeping your wiring organized.
