## Breakout Board

There's a PCB located at the printhead where the electronic components (e.g. thermistor, cartridge heater, ABL sensor etc.) are connected to which I call (for the sake of simplicity) "breakout board".
The more 'formal' name for this is "Hot End Nozzle Adapter Board Breakout Module" - so I'll stick with "breakout board".. ;)

The following picture shows the breakout board with the extruder motor how you see it when removing the plastic housing of the printhead.

The following picture shows this breakout board from a slightly different angles, so that you can see the labels at the wires and the plugs and connectors a bit better.

The following picture shows the breakout board only with additional labels for the specific connectors.

The connection between the mainboard and this breakout board is then accomplished by a ribbon cable. The following picture shows the connector at the head and a part of that ribbon cable.
**As all connectors, this connector is coded - means, it only fits in ONE specific direction! Make sure to mind those 'noses' and notches and to plug it in correctly!**
