Prototyping / Breadboards & Protoboards

This is a cute half size breadboard, good for small projects. It's 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. You can pull the power rails off easily to make the breadboard as thin as 1.4" (3.5cm) and stick it onto an Arduino protoshield. You can also cut these in half with a saw to create 2 tiny breadboards, or "snap" these breadboards together either...

Customers have asked us to carry basic perf-board, but we never liked the look of most basic perf: its 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 really like is a proto board that makes it easy! This proto-board is the PCB...

This is a 'full-size' 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 longer and/or wider breadboards. The back is made of foam...

This a tiny little breadboard...half the size of a half-size breadboard! Measures 1.8" x 1.4" (46mm x 36mm ) Perfect for tiny projects and for sticking onto the top of Arduino protoshields!

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 April 20, 2018 this breadboard has contiguous power rails. We used to sell a version...

Making a project that will fit into a "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!

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 you can solder any components to the pads. Sensors? Wearables?...

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 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 piece of solder-less breadboard.  There are two white posts on...

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 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 18mm x 8mm x 8mm piece of solder-less breadboard.  There are...

Add a micro-slice standard solderless breadboard to your Perma-Proto or other perf-board. This 4x4 point solder-less breadboard is a good way to add some solderless prototyping space if you just need to have a couple points. Comes with one 18mm x 13mm x 10mm piece of solder-less breadboard.  There are four white posts on the bottom for PCB positioning, but you can cut them off with diagonal cutters if you dont want them.

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 some big copper pads (for mechanical connections?...

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 breadboard as thin as 1.4" (3.5cm). You can also cut these in...

This is a cute half-size breadboard with an assortment of small jumper wires, great for prototyping. 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 the ends, so you can choose the appropriate length for your...

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 modern Raspberry Pi computers with 2x20 connectors such as the Pi B+, A+, 2, 3, 4,...

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 its made of very thin FR4. We're not bending the truth! This protoboard is only 0.4mm thick, so its extremely bendable and you can cut it easily with scissors - just don't use your nice fabric scissors since the fiberglass...

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 of the Circuit Playground has a large oval pad you can connect to, and in the...

Simply solder the 2x20 box header in, and you get all the labeled breakouts with extra prototyping space, power rails, mounting holes and that gorgeous silk. This version is for modern Raspberry Pi computers with 2x20 connectors such as the Pi B+, A+, 2, 3, 4,...

Here are a variety of handy 3-pack of 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 four mounting holes so you can attach the...
