Product Description

Description:

The Grove - Branch Cable is a cable used in the Grove system. It consists of three male-type latching connectors and four color-coded wires. Grove Branch Cables can be used to support daisy-chaining multiple Grove devices to a Grove shield. Typically, one end is connected to a Grove shield, and the second and third connectors are attached to two Grove devices. 

As with other members of the Grove cable family, the male connectors are keyed. This means that they are shaped uniquely and will fit one and only one way into their matching connectors on shields and devices. Also, when attaching the connectors to shields or devices, be sure to press firmly to mate the male connectors on the Grove Branch Cable with the female receptacles on the Grove shield or Grove devices. Since Grove Branch Cables have latches (sometimes referred to as "buckles" or "buckled cables"), when the latch closes, you will hear a small sound and should see the latch close over its corresponding part. These latches (or buckles) improve connections and are especially handy in high-vibration or production environments, since some force must be used when disconnecting the cable. When moving your Grove device or changing it, you must also apply a small bit of pressure to release the latch on the Grove Branch Cable connector and then pull it to remove it from the receptacle or socket.

Use extra care if connecting multiple devices using the Grove - Branch Cable. Be aware that the analog or digital pin on the Grove Shield will be shared by both Grove devices. Such configurations may be inappropriate for two analog devices. Using a Grove Branch Cable to connect an analog and a digital Grove device may not work at all.


Features:

Daisy-Chaining Capability: Allows you to connect two Grove devices to a single Grove port on a Grove Base Shield or microcontroller. This is particularly useful for expanding the number of sensors or actuators you can use without needing more dedicated ports.
Three Male Latching Connectors: It typically has three male-type latching connectors. One end connects to the Grove shield, and the other two connect to separate Grove devices. The latching mechanism provides a secure connection, which is beneficial in environments with vibrations or for robust project builds.
Four Color-Coded Wires: Like other Grove cables, it features four color-coded wires: Black (GND), Red (VCC), White (Signal 1), and Yellow (Signal 2).
Keyed Connectors: The modular connectors are keyed, meaning they are shaped uniquely to ensure they can only be plugged in one way, preventing incorrect connections and potential damage to components.
Compatibility: It is compatible with all modules included in the Grove system, making it a versatile accessory for various projects.

Package Dimensions: 140mm x 90mm x 11mm
Weight: G.W. 49.5g


Application:

  • Connecting or daisy chaining two or more I2C devices to one I2C Stem connector. Multiple branch cables can be used to extend I2C buses.
  • Connecting two devices that need to work at the same time. For example, a LED and a Relay could be connected to a Grove Shield using a single Grove Branch Cable. It would then be possible to turn both the LED and the Relay off or on simultaneously since the two devices would be controlled by a single digital pin.
