New Soldering Service for Raspberry Pi Boards
We are pleased to announce that we are now offering a new soldering service for our Raspberry Pi expansion boards.
Since the release of the Raspberry Pi B+ we have sold all of our expansion boards with the 40 pin header and other connectors unsoldered. We chose to sell our boards this way for several reasons.
- The boards can be customised, either with different connectors, or leaving off some of the connectors if they are not needed.
- It reduces the height of the board allowing us to reduce the packaging size which is both better for the environment and reduces the postage costs for the customer.
While the overall response to us selling our expansion boards this way has been positive, we do understand that not everyone has the soldering skills required to assemble the boards themselves. For this reason we are now offering a professional soldering service for Raspberry Pi expansion boards purchased through our website so your boards arrive ready to use straight out of the box.
How do I request the soldering service?
On each of the product pages for our Raspberry Pi expansion boards there is now a soldering option tick box below the Add to Basket button.
When you select the soldering option our experienced technicians will hand-solder all the connectors included with your chosen board. If you have any special requirements for your board you can contact us when you place the order or include a note during the checkout.
How Much Does It Cost?
We’ve kept the price low and accessible:
Just £2.99 per board.
Who’s This For?
- Educators running workshops who want a streamlined setup.
- Hobbyists who prefer focusing on coding and integration.
- Professionals who need reliable, pre-assembled hardware for prototyping or deployment.<
