Description
Important! Note “Header Type” Option above for selecting pin header! See “Pin Headers” section below for details.
The im5P is a simple I/O module. It is part of our iMod product range, and is intended to be used with our products that have iMod ports. It can however be used for many other applications too, and can be mounted on a standard 0.1″ grid prototyping board.
It makes 5 ports available via a 3.5mm Terminal Block connector. Additionally there is space on the PCB for TVS protection diodes that can be assembled on request. The 5 ports are marked 2,3,4,5 and X on the PCB.
- Ports 2,3,4 and 5 are routed to pins 2,3,4 and 5 of the pin header (iMod port).
- Port X can be configured via a solder jumper to be connected to 0V, 3.3V, 5V, Vaux or pin header 6 (iMod port 6).
All ports have a 1kOhm resistor in series with them. This helps protect the Microcontroller port from over voltages. Solder jumper 2,3,4 and 5 on top of the board allow the 1kOhm resistor to be bypassed.
On most products with iMod ports, iMod ports 2,3 and 4 are Relocatable Ports (click here for details). Many also include port 5. These 4 iMod ports (pin header 2 to 5) are routed to Terminal Block ports 2,3,4 and 5 (marked on PCB behind terminal block). They can be configured to perform many different functions, like PWM outputs, UART Serial Port (TTL UART), SPI port, Capture input, Interrupt input…
iMod Ports 5 and 6 (pin header 5 & 6) are Analog Input/General purpose I/O ports on most products with iMod ports. These 2 ports (routed to Terminal Block ports 5 and X) can be used as general purpose I/O, or Analog Inputs.

The im5P has two rows of standard 2.54mm (0.1″) pin headers. The rows are 0.7″ apart, allowing this module to be mounted on a breadboard or standard 0.1″ grid prototype board. The picture to the right shows some iMod modules mounted on a standard prototype board.
The pin headers supplied or soldered to this board are selected in the “Header Type” option at the top of this page.

Pin Headers
By default this board is supplied with No Pin Headers! The following additional options can be selected in the "Header Type" Option at the top of the page (below price):
No Pin Headers No pin header is assembled or included with the board. |
Loose 3, 4 and 6.0mm Pin Headers Two unsoldered(loose) Pin Headers are supplied with the board for free. The pin(mating) length is 3.0, 4.0 or 6.0mm. The number of pins depends on the iMod board. For most boards two 1x6 pin headers are supplied. |
3.0mm Pin Headers Pin headers with 3.0mm long pins are assembled. Select this option if the module is going to be soldered into place. The picture on the right shows an example of an iMod module soldered onto a main board. Header size (2 to 8 pin) depends on iMod board. Many boards will get a 2 pin header on one side, and a 4 or 5 pin on the other. |
4.0mm Pin Headers Pin headers with 4.0mm long pins are assembled. Select this option if the module is going to be plugged into a low profile 5.7mm high female socket (2.54mm grid). Header size (2 to 8 pin) depends on iMod board. Many boards will get a 2 pin header on one side, and a 4 or 5 pin on the other. |
6.0mm Pin Headers Pin headers with 6.0mm long pins are assembled. Select this option if the module is going to be plugged into a standard 2.54mm female socket. Header size (2 to 8 pins) depends on iMod board. Many boards will get a 2 pin header on one side, and a 4 or 5 pin on the other. |
Round Swiss Pin Headers Two 6 Pin headers with Round (Swiss) style pins are assembled. Select this option if the module is going to be plugged into female Round (Swiss) Sockets. This is very useful for prototyping! See picture on the right for some examples. Typically the 6 pin female socket (low profile version) can be used for the main board. We stock a range of swiss pin headers, available here. |
Press-Fit Headers Press-fit type pins are assembled. They can be pressed into 1.00mm holes on a 1.6mm thick (standard PCB thickness) target board. A press-tool might be required for production assembly. Once fitted to the target board, the board is very secure, and can not be removed by hand any more. The picture on the right shows an example of an iMod module mounted onto main board via press-fit connectors. We stock a range of press-fit pin headers, available here. |
