Sensor Shield V5 Expansion Board for Arduino Uno | Compoden
Sensor Shield V5 Expansion Board for Arduino Uno
The Sensor Shield V5 is a plug-and-play expansion board designed for Arduino Uno. It breaks out all I/O pins to standard 3-pin GVS (Ground-Voltage-Signal) headers, making sensor connections quick and solderless. Ideal for rapid prototyping, it eliminates messy breadboard wiring and provides stable power distribution.

Compatibility
This shield is purpose-built for the Arduino Uno R3 and clones with identical pinout. It stacks directly onto the Uno headers, extending them upward for further stacking. It works with any 5V-logic sensor or module that uses a standard 3-pin connector. For 3.3V sensors, use the onboard 3.3V rail and ensure logic level compatibility.
Wiring Notes
Simply align the shield's male headers with the Uno's female headers and press firmly. All pins are clearly labelled: S for signal, V for 5V, G for ground. The shield draws power from the Uno's 5V rail, so no external supply is needed. For high-current accessories, power the Uno via an external 7-12V adapter.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino Mega?
No, the Sensor Shield V5 is designed for the Arduino Uno pinout, which differs from the Mega. Using it with a Mega may misalign pins and cause damage. For Mega, consider a dedicated Mega Sensor Shield.
Does this shield include any sensors?
No, this is an expansion board only; sensors are sold separately. It provides the interface to easily connect and disconnect sensors without soldering.
Can I stack another shield on top?
Yes, the Sensor Shield V5 passes through all Arduino pins, so you can stack additional shields that follow the standard header layout. Ensure no pin conflicts with connected sensors.
