They're just 0.8mm thick (the bare board, not including mounted components) and designed to be soldered straight onto the GPIO pins of your Pi, if you wish, so that you can use them with HATs and pHATs on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e.
