Raspberry Pi Extension Cable Multiple Colour, GPIO Ribbon Cable, 40 Pin, 20cm Long, Supports RPI 3B+ / 4B

But this can be worked around, and the product comes at a good price. Can't ...view more Bought two of these, but the plug/socket orientation did not exactly match the pictures, so some testing with a multimeter ensured I had the HAT attached the right way, and pins going where they should.

Works as expected Works as expected

recommended if you want to easily access the GPIO pins to use with a breadboard recommended if you want to easily access the GPIO pins to use with a breadboard
