This module has another name: Gert-VGA adapter, or passive VGA adapter 666 Raspberry pi B + The Raspberry pi has an HDMI port to connect to the display. If your monitor has only VGA, then you must use an adapter to connect to your monitor. Since the adapter for digital-to-analog conversion is expensive and does not fit the specific environment used by the Raspberry Pi, we have adopted this suitable for the Raspberry Pi. solution. This VGA666 switching device is not capable of supporting Raspberry pi A and B boards because the number of pins in the GPIO does not match. Now Raspberry pi B+, Raspberry pi 2, B, Raspberry pi have 40 GPIO pins that can be used with this module. With this module, you can connect to a VGA monitor locally, which means you can use it as a secondary monitor next to HDMI. Unlike composite video, the DPI interface can run the HDMI interface independently. Dual-screen software is still in development and will soon be officially compatible. Two screens running at maximum resolution consume the bandwidth of the SDRAM and are yet to be verified. (And there is a problem: using most of the GPIO pins as the motherboard means that the specific functions of the GPIO are not available because they are occupied.) Product Features: l VGA output supports the same resolution as HDMI l Support resolution of 640×480 to 1920×1024 in 60fps l The highest resolution pixel quality is almost as good as HDMI l 6 bits per channel have a maximum of 262144 colors l Easy to install and configure, plug and play l You can use it as a secondary monitor next to HDMI l Size: 64.00 mm x 32.24 mm l Weight: 16.48 grams

Excellent value and works as expected
I heard these sometimes have poor manufacturing so I ordered this 2-pak but so far the soldering an general build seem fine on both. Highly recommended to get your Pi onto a VGA monitor or as a cheap gateway to getting 15khz out of your Pi.

You get what you pay for. Not a lot.
Works as expected, but terrible cold solder joints, rusted components, and excess solder on the joint preventing cable from seating that needed to be wicked away to function.
