Adafruit "Three Fives" Discrete 555 Timer Kit

The Three Fives Discrete 555 Timer kit from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories is a precise, functional replica of the classic NE555 timer integrated circuit. Designed by Eric Schlaepfer, it features an extra-thick matte-finish printed circuit board, providing a robust foundation for your projects.

Specifications: The kit includes a circuit board, resistors, and transistors, all designed for easy "through-hole" construction. It is accompanied by a sturdy plastic stand resembling DIP-packaged IC pins, complete with eight color-coded thumbscrew terminal posts.

Usages: Connect using terminal posts and solder points to build classic 555 timer circuits. With options for connections using wires, lugs, clips, or joints, it's an adaptable setup. Unlike the chip version, attach probes to explore the internal workings of the circuit.

Benefits: Engage with one of the most classic circuits, gaining deeper insights through hands-on assembly, while the stand provides a stable display and access to various connection methods.
