The Perma Proto HAT is an expansion board designed for Raspberry Pi that enables easy prototyping and custom circuit development. It features a grid of 0.1-inch soldering holes connected with traces underneath, allowing you to attach various components such as chips, resistors, LEDs, and potentiometers, similar to a solderless breadboard. The HAT includes long power strips for +3V, +5V, and Ground connections, along with nearly every Pi pin broken out for versatile connectivity. Dimensions include a header size of 5mm x 51mm x 12mm and a PCB size of 66mm x 57mm x 2mm.
