Mini BreadBoard 400 Connection Point

Description

Mini Breadboard – 400 Tie Points

The 400-Point Mini Breadboard is the quintessential tool for electronics hobbyists, students, and engineers. Its compact, adhesive-backed design makes it perfect for portable projects, sensor testing, and final-stage circuit integration where space is at a premium.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

• Modular Design: Each board features interlocking tabs, allowing you to “snap” multiple 400-point breadboards together to expand your workspace as your project grows.

• Compact Footprint: Ideal for small-scale projects using a single microcontroller or a handful of discrete components. It fits easily into small project enclosures.

• Peel-and-Stick Backing: The underside features a high-quality adhesive tape, allowing you to permanently mount your circuit inside a project box or onto a chassis once the testing phase is complete.

• Standardized Layout: Features two side power rails and a central terminal area, perfectly suited for standard DIP (Dual Inline Package) integrated circuits.

Best Practices for Use

• Solid-Core Wire Only: To ensure the longevity of the internal nickel-plated spring clips, use 22-24 AWG solid-core jumper wires. Avoid stranded wires, as they can cause “burrs” that damage the contacts.

• Component Insertion: When inserting sensitive components like microcontrollers or sensors, ensure they are aligned correctly. Applying excessive force at an angle can bend the internal clips.

• Clean Leads: If you are reusing components that were previously soldered, ensure there is no residual solder on the leads before inserting them, as this can degrade the spring contact.

• Avoid Soldering: Never apply a soldering iron to the breadboard. If you need to combine components, perform the soldering on a piece of perfboard or a breakout board first, then plug the finished assembly into the breadboard.
