Seeed Studio Grove Proto Shield Arduino 60mm 2.54mm

SKU CH-AG9A-1HNKK

A prototyping shield with standardised Grove connectors and 2.54 mm breadboard spacing for building custom sensor modules

  • Product typeSensors
  • Add custom circuitry with standard 2.54 mm spacing
  • Standardised Grove interface connects S0, S1, VCC, GND
  • Breadboard layout simplifies DIP IC installation
  • Reserved space for normally-open button included
  • Compact 60 mm square board fits prototypes

Proto Shield for Arduino

This Grove Proto Shield lets you add custom circuitry to the Grove prototyping system. It provides access to the four Grove connector lines S0, S1, VCC and GND. The board uses standard 2.54 mm spacing for DIP-format ICs and other components. A reserved space for a normally-open button is included on the layout.

Build integration with Grove system

The shield connects directly to a Grove base shield or compatible Arduino board using the standardised Grove interface. VCC and GND are routed as two power buses across the board. Soldering pads for Sig0 and Sig1 sit between the buses for signal routing. The 60 mm square footprint fits compact project enclosures.

For custom Grove module designers

This shield suits makers designing unique Grove-compatible sensors or actuators for rapid prototyping. Builders who need a pre-assembled sensor with defined functionality should look at dedicated Grove modules instead. It is not a finished sensor and requires soldering skills to populate the breadboard area.

Questions about this item

How much current can the VCC and GND buses on this 60 mm Grove Proto Shield handle?

The board routes the Grove connector's VCC and GND pins directly to two power buses with standard 2.54 mm spacing, giving you solder pads for Sig0 and Sig1 between them so you can add your own circuitry.

Does the shield generate noticeable heat or noise when left connected to an Arduino all day?

It has no active components, so it produces no noise and negligible heat; only the parts you solder onto the breadboard-style layout will draw power or warm up.

Which Grove cables or connectors do I already need to plug this shield into my Arduino?

A standard 4-wire Grove cable is required to link the shield's Grove socket to a Grove base shield or compatible Arduino header; the cable is not included in the pack.
