MB102 830 Points Solderless Prototype PCB Breadboard

MB102 830 Points Solderless Prototype PCB Breadboard is an essential tool for any electronics enthusiast, engineer, or student. This breadboard offers a quick and easy way to prototype circuits without the need for soldering, allowing you to build, test, and modify designs with incredible speed. It features a standard configuration with 830 tie points, including two power rails on either side, providing ample space for both simple and complex projects. Its intuitive design and reusable nature make it the cornerstone of any workbench, enabling you to experiment with different components and connections before committing to a final PCB layout.

Key Features:

• 830 Tie Points: The board contains a main prototyping area with 630 tie points for components and two dedicated power rails with 200 tie points, giving you plenty of room to build your circuits.
• Solderless Design: You can simply push component leads into the holes, creating a reliable electrical connection without any soldering. This feature is perfect for beginners and for quickly testing new ideas.
• Interlocking Capability: Easily connect multiple MB102 breadboards together to create a larger prototyping surface for more extensive projects.
• Integrated Power Rails: Two power rails run along the sides, providing convenient access to VCC and GND for your components, simplifying wiring and keeping your circuit neat.
• Durable Construction: Made from high-quality plastic with phosphor bronze contact clips, this breadboard ensures a long lifespan and thousands of insertions.

Technical Specifications:

• Tie Points: 830 (630 for ICs and components, 200 for power rails)
• Acceptable Wire Size: 20-29 AWG
• Material: ABS plastic body with phosphor bronze contact clips
• Voltage Rating: Up to 36V
• Current Rating: 1.5A

Mechanical Specifications:

• Mounting: Self-adhesive tape on the back for easy mounting on a base plate or work surface.
• Color: White
• Numbering: Numbered columns and lettered rows for precise component placement.

Dimensions:

• Length: 165.5 mm
• Width: 54.4 mm
• Height: 8.5 mm

Pinout and Wiring:

• Central Section: The main prototyping area is split into two halves, with rows connected horizontally. You insert integrated circuits (ICs) across the central gap.
• Power Rails: The two vertical strips on each side are the power rails. The red line indicates the positive power supply (VCC), and the blue line indicates ground (GND). All points in a vertical column on these rails are connected.
• Wiring Note: Simply push the stripped end of a jumper wire or component lead into a hole to make a connection. For complex circuits, consider using different color wires to represent power, ground, and signal lines.
