170 Points Mini Breadboard SYB-170

170 Points Mini Breadboard SYB-170 serves as an indispensable tool for rapid, solderless prototyping and temporary circuit design, particularly in compact electronics projects. This tiny breadboard offers 170 individual tie-points, providing ample space for small microcontroller circuits, sensor interfaces, and power regulation components. Consequently, engineers and hobbyists frequently choose the SYB-170 for its portability and ability to fit onto project cases or alongside development boards. It features a self-adhesive backing, therefore allowing you to securely mount the board onto any stable surface, minimizing clutter on your workbench. Use this mini breadboard to test concepts quickly and reliably before committing to a final PCB design.

Key Features:

• High Portability: The compact design, measuring just 4.5 cm x 3.4 cm, makes this breadboard ideal for small, mobile, or wearable electronic projects.
• 170 Tie-Points: Provides 170 connection points, sufficient for assembling small to medium-sized circuits, including simple microcontrollers or op-amp configurations.
• Interlocking Capability: You can easily snap multiple SYB-170 boards together, thereby expanding the prototyping area when your project requires more space.
• Self-Adhesive Backing: A strong foam tape backing allows for secure, non-slip mounting to development platforms, project enclosures, or shields.
• Durable Construction: The board utilizes high-quality ABS plastic and robust metal contacts, ensuring reliable, long-term reuse across numerous projects.
