## Summary description

Breakout/expansion adapter for Raspberry Pi Pico by Waveshare (model DFR-20372). Provides accessible pins from the Pico’s edge connectors to standard 0.1" header layout for easier prototyping and wiring. Intended to simplify access to GPIO, power and common signals for breadboarding, sensors, modules and development projects.

## Long description

The Waveshare expansion header adapter for Raspberry Pi Pico (board breakout for GPIO pins) converts the Pico's dual edge connector signals into a standard 0.1" pitch header layout, making individual GPIO, power and common lines easier to access for breadboarding and prototyping. The compact PCB preserves the Pico form factor while exposing pins in a row suitable for jumper wires, sensor connectors and development modules. This adapter is designed to streamline wiring and reduce handling of the Pico's edge connector during iterative testing and circuit assembly.
Advantages
This expansion header adapter provides a straightforward, space-efficient way to access Raspberry Pi Pico pins without soldering to the edge connector. The standard 0.1" header layout improves compatibility with female jumper wires, breadboards and common prototyping accessories. The breakout board preserves power rails and key signal lines for clear identification and reliable connections, supporting faster assembly of experimental circuits and sensor integrations.
Suitable for
 Breadboarding and rapid prototyping with Raspberry Pi Pico
 Connecting sensors and modules using standard jumper wires
 Educational projects and hardware development labs
 Small-scale testing and debugging of GPIO-based circuits
Key specifications
 Form factor: adapter board designed to match Raspberry Pi Pico edge connector
 Pin format: standard 0.1" (2.54 mm) pitch header
 Exposed lines: GPIO signals, power rails and common signal pins routed to header
 Mounting: compact PCB intended for direct mating with Pico edge connector
 Compatibility: made for Raspberry Pi Pico modules and compatible microcontroller boards with the same edge connector
How to use
Align the adapter board with the Raspberry Pi Pico so that the Pico's edge connector seats properly in the adapter footprint, then secure the connection according to the adapter's mechanical design (press-fit or use recommended header/sockets if provided). Once connected, attach jumper wires or female connectors to the 0.1" headers to access GPIO lines, power (3.3V, GND) and other routed signals. Use standard wiring practices to avoid short circuits and ensure stable power delivery during development and testing.
Usage recommendations
For reliable results, inspect the adapter and Pico edge connector for debris before mating. Use shrouded or keyed connectors where possible to prevent accidental misalignment. When working with breadboards and external modules, verify voltage levels and pin assignments to avoid damage to sensors or the Pico. If prolonged testing or higher current loads are expected, consider using headers and wire gauges rated for the required current and add decoupling capacitors on the power rail.
