What is breakout board?

Welcome to visit our Connector category to check whether our products can meet your requirement.

The breakout board, also known as an expansion board, pinboard or adapter board, is a circuit board or device whose main function is to connect and convert different interfaces, protocols, or signal types so that different devices or components can communicate and collaborate with each other. Pinboards are widely designed and used to solve connectivity problems between various electronic devices.

The adapter plate usually has the following functions and characteristics:
1.Interface conversion:
A switchboard can convert one type of interface to another type of interface. For example, converting a USB interface to a serial interface, or converting an HDMI interface to a DisplayPort interface.

2.Signal conversion:
The adapter board can convert different signal types or protocols, allowing different devices to communicate with each other. For example, converting analog signals to digital signals, or converting one communication protocol to another.

3.Extended functions:
The adapter board can be used to expand the functions of the device. For example, by adding additional interfaces or functional modules, it can increase the input and output capabilities or specific control functions of the device.

4.Adapt to different specifications:
The adapter board can be adapted to interfaces of different specifications or sizes, allowing incompatible devices or components to be connected together.

5.Simplify wiring:
The adapter board can simplify complex wiring requirements, especially in systems that require connecting multiple devices or components.

Adapter boards are used in various fields, including but not limited to computer hardware, communication equipment, audio and video equipment, industrial control systems, etc. They are usually used as intermediate connectors to enable various devices to work together and improve the flexibility and scalability of the overall system.

It should be noted that different adapter boards have different specifications and functions, and users need to match them according to their actual needs when selecting an adapter board to ensure that it can meet the connection and communication requirements of the device.
