Add Clean Expansion with Screw Shield for Arduino
Screw Shield for Arduino screw Shield for Arduino turns standard Arduino header pins into easy screw-terminal connections. It is useful when you want a firmer hold than jumper wires can give.
This makes it a good fit for bench testing, permanent installs, and projects that connect lots of loose wires.
Note: Check header alignment and board compatibility before power-up. Some shields also include voltage or power-source settings that should be set first.
Why you'll love it
- Screw terminals for Arduino pins: Easier wiring for bare leads
- Shield format: Plugs straight onto a compatible Arduino board
- Cleaner bench setup: Helps reduce loose jumper wire issues
- Useful for installs: Better for semi-permanent builds and panels
What you can build
This part works well for bench testing, classroom labs, control panels, and projects with many bare-wire connections.
Starter bundles
Pair it with an Arduino-compatible board, a USB cable, and a few Gravity modules to get a clean plug-and-play setup.
Recommended add-ons
Useful add-ons include compatible sensor cables, relay modules, servo accessories, and stackable headers depending on your setup.
