Prototyping / Breadboards & Protoboards

This is a cute, half-size breadboard with 400 tie points, good for small projects. It's 3.25" x 2.2" / 8.3cm x 5.5cm with a standard double-strip in the middle and two power rails on both sides. You can pull the power rails off easily to make the breadboard as thin as 1.4" (3.5cm). You can also "snap" these breadboards together, either way, to make longer and/or...

Customers have asked us to carry basic perf-board, but we never liked the look of most basic perf: it's always crummy quality, with pads that flake off and no labeling. Then we thought about how people actually prototype - usually starting with a solderless breadboard and then transferring the parts to a more permanent PCB. That's when we realized what people would...

This is a 'full-size' premium quality breadboard, 830 tie points. Good for small and medium projects. It's 2.2" x 7" (5.5 cm x 17 cm) with a standard double-strip in the middle and two power rails on both sides. You can pull the power rails off easily to make the breadboard as thin as 1.4" (3.5cm). You can also "snap" these breadboards together, either way, to make...

This is a tiny little breadboard... half the size of a half-size breadboard! As of Sep 8, 2022 - This Tiny breadboard has been updated to make plugging and un-plugging boards and headers a buttery-smooth operation. Updated design also includes a metal plate. The metal plate is used to stick the breadboard on for mechanical support, and to keep the paper on the bottom...

For really big projects, give yourself some room to work in, with a massive 2250-point breadboard - equivalent in size to three full-sized breadboards side by side. The breadboards are mounted onto a metal plate and comes with 4 colored posts you can use with a bench-top supply. Four bumpers are included, to keep the board from slipping around your desk. As of Dec...

Making a project that will fit into an "Altoids Smalls" Mint Tin? Or maybe you just need a small amount of prototyping space and a larger breadboard size is too big? Put down that PCB shear and pick up a Perma-Proto in the new exciting shape! Customers have asked us to carry basic perf-board, but we never liked the look of most basic perf: it's always crummy quality,...

Make your next project super-flexy with a prototyping board that can twist and bend. We took our lovely classic perma-proto design and had it made from incredibly thin polyamide film. It's extremely bendable, and you can cut it easily with scissors. It has a bend radius of 1cm or better (you can also crease it but that might break a trace if you crease a trace) and...

Add a micro-slice standard solderless breadboard to your Perma-Proto or other perf-board. This 2x8 point solder-less breadboard is a good way to add some solderless prototyping space if you just need to have a couple of points. In our example photo, we put a Trinket in the breadboard, but you can use anything with 0.1" spaced header. Comes with one 29mm x 8mm x 8mm...

Add a micro-slice standard solderless breadboard to your Perma-Proto or other perf-board. This 2x4 point solder-less breadboard is a good way to add some solderless prototyping space if you just need to have a couple of points. In our example photo, we put a chip and some jumper wires in the breadboard, but you can use anything with 0.1" spaced header. Comes with one...

Make your next project as you imagine it with prototyping perfboards that can easily be cut with scissors like these Bakelite Universal Perfboard Plates! We wanted a perfboard that was both customizable and durable and bakelite was the answer. Like most perfboards these plates come on thin (1.2mm) sheets with holes drilled in a grid, each spaced 0.1" apart. There are...

Here's a handy 6cm x 8cm Proto-board PCB that is meant for use with 2mm pitch parts - like maybe an XBee. Both sides have a green silkscreen with some row/column markings. Note that these don't have any traces between the PCB holes; you would normally bend over a thru-hole lead to create connections. They're also good for just plain mechanical work because they are...

This cute 3.2″ × 2.1″ (82 × 53mm) solderless half-size breadboard has four bus lines and 30 rows of pins, our favorite size of solderless breadboard for projects. You get a whoppin' 400 tie points! Plug in a Feather or Metro Mini with the rest for sensors or buttons or even a little display. You can pull the power rails off easily to make the...

Here's a handy 3-pack of 4cm x 6cm Proto-board PCBs in Adafruit Black. Both sides have a black silkscreen with some row/column markings. Note that these don't have any traces between the PCB holes, you would normally bend over a thru-hole lead to create connections. They're also good for just plain mechanical work because they are made of strong FR4. There are also...

They're also good for just plain mechanical work because they are made of strong FR4 There are also four...

This is a cute half-size breadboard with an assortment of small jumper wires, great for prototyping. The breadboard is 2.2" x 3.4" (5.5 cm x 8.5 cm) with a standard double-strip in the middle and two power rails on both sides. Power rails can be pulled off easily to make the breadboard as thin as 1.4" (3.5cm). The jumper wires are pre-cut and bent in right angles at...

We put a PermaProto full-sized proto board in a blender with a Pi Cobbler and out emerged this very tasty confection - the 40-Pin PermaProto for Pi! It has the Cobbler baked right in. Simply solder the 2x20 box header in, and you get all the labeled breakouts with tons of prototyping space, power rails, mounting holes and that gorgeous silk. This version is for...

Extend and expand your Circuit Playground projects with a bolt-on Perma-Proto that lets you connect solderable circuits in a sturdy and reliable fashion. This PCB looks just like a solderless breadboard but has permanently affixed M3 standoffs that act as mechanical and electrical connections. Solder to the gold-plated traces to create your custom invention! Each pad...

Make your next project super-flexy with a biiiig prototyping board that can twist and shout– err, twist and bend! This passive flexible proto-PCB is about large as a piece of paper, but instead of dead trees it's made of very thin FR4. We're not bending the truth! This protoboard is only 0.4mm thick, so it's extremely bendable and you can cut it easily with...
