Arduino Sensor Shield V5.0 Expansion Board

The Arduino Sensor Shield V5.0 Expansion Board is a must-have for anyone building robotics, automation, or complex Arduino-based systems. This shield is designed to make it easy to connect various sensors, actuators, communication modules, and servo motors without the hassle of jumper wires and breadboards.

Compatible with Arduino UNO, Mega 2560, and Leonardo, the V5.0 version provides dedicated 3-pin headers (Signal, VCC, GND) for each I/O pin, allowing for direct plug-and-play connectivity for sensors and modules. It also offers additional interfaces like UART, I2C, and SPI, supporting communication with NodeMCU, Bluetooth, XBee, APC220 RF, and SD cards.

This shield is essential for users developing projects with multiple components like displays, sensors, and motors—streamlining complex setups while reducing errors.

Pair it with a variety of modules from our Electronics Components and Arduino and Accessories sections to fully unlock its capabilities.

⚠️ Precautions

• Confirm pin mapping when using Mega or Leonardo (some reassignments needed).

• Do not exceed 5V on VCC pins—may damage modules or board.

• Power-hungry modules (e.g., motors) should be externally powered.

• Check sensor voltage compatibility before connecting.

• Always double-check signal pin orientation before inserting headers.
