Tiny 555 flasher/oscillator SMD module

This little module is based on the ever-useful 555 timer IC. It features adjustable frequency over the range 0.8Hz to 60Hz (approx), making it ideal for flashing LEDs, or anywhere you would use a 555 timer in astable (oscillator) mode.

While it is more expensive than our other more versatile 555 module, this one is tiny at just 10 x 13 x 8mm, so small enough to embed almost anywhere. As it has just three 2.54mm spaced header pins, you can just plug it into a breadboard for an instant signal source.
