400 Tie Points Contacts Mini Circuit Experiment Solderless Breadboard

400 Tie Points Contacts Mini Circuit Experiment Solderless Breadboard offers electronics enthusiasts and students a compact, efficient platform for rapidly prototyping circuits without the mess and permanence of soldering. This miniature breadboard includes 400 convenient tie points, providing ample capacity for small to medium-sized projects, including basic microcontroller setups. Consequently, you can quickly insert and remove components like ICs, resistors, and capacitors to test and iterate your designs immediately. Its small footprint and self-adhesive backing make it ideal for portable projects, quick diagnostics, or integrating into larger circuit boards for dedicated sections. Therefore, grab this essential tool to simplify your design process and accelerate your learning in electronics.

Key Features:

• Solderless Design: Allows for quick and easy insertion and removal of components and wires, which greatly speeds up prototyping and troubleshooting.
• 400 Tie Points: Provides a substantial number of connection points, which is sufficient for small microcontroller projects, sensor interfaces, and basic logic circuits.
• Interlocking Capability: You can laterally connect multiple 400-point breadboards together to form larger prototyping areas, significantly increasing flexibility.
• Integrated Power Rails: Includes two dedicated power rails (one VCC and one GND) on each side, simplifying power distribution across your circuit.
• Self-Adhesive Backing: A peel-and-stick backing allows you to firmly mount the breadboard onto project enclosures or base plates.
