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...

Handy for making wire harnesses or jumpering between headers on PCB's. These premium jumper wires are 3" (75mm) long and come in a 'strip' of 40 (4 pieces of each of ten rainbow colors). They have 0.1" male header contacts on either end and fit cleanly next to each other on standard-pitch 0.1" (2.54mm) header. The best part is they come in a 40-pin ribbon cable. You can always pull the ribbon wires off to make individual jumpers, or keep them...

The ESP-PSRAM64H is a 64 Mbit (8 Megabyte) serial pseudo SRAM device, organized in 8 M x 8 bits and in a compact SOIC-8 package. It is fabricated using the high-performance and high-reliability CMOS technology and can operates at 3.3V and can support up to 133 MHz clock rate. Note, however, that burst operations which cross page boundaries have a lower max input clock frequency at 84 MHz. The PSRAM device can be accessed via basic Serial...

Perfect for bread-boarding, free wiring, etc. This box contains 6 spools of solid-core wire. The wire is easy to solder to and when bent it keeps its shape pretty well. We like to have a few spools of this stuff around which is why this set is quite nice! We suggest picking up wire strippers to match. Wire gauge is 22 AWG which we've found is the best all-around gauge, it works best with breadboards and perfboards but also fits in terminal...

This stuff is called "wire-wrap wire" because it used to be used for wire-wrapping high-speed digital circuits on a special kind of contact board. It's pretty rare to see wire-wrapping in these days of low-cost PCB fabrication, but the wire is still really handy for prototyping work. It's extremely thin (30 AWG!), so your wiring won't get bulky, and it is just stiff enough to hold its shape around corners. It's most...

Connect to those pesky 0.5mm pitch connectors that you may run across with an FPC stick. We designed this for use in house, to quickly connect to 50pin 0.5mm pitch flex cables we need to test.

Pogo pins are little spring-loaded contacts, very handy for making jigs, or making momentary (but electrically solid) contacts. We use them by the dozen for making programming and testing jigs but they're handy also if say you want to JTAG program a board that you cant solder headers to - just shove these thin contacts into a 0.1" pitch IDC programming cable and press it onto the contacts. These particular pins are (in our opinion)...

If you're looking to make a custom cable with any two of our USB or HDMI adapters, then you'll need to have these flex cables handy! Making custom cables has never been easier. Just grab one of these cables, then swap and switch any of the plug or socket adapters on each end using the flex cable clips. There are options a-plenty! This is the 10 cm (~4 inches) version. The two required HDMI or USB adapters are not included!...

Copper tape can be an interesting addition to your toolbox. The tape itself is made of thin pure copper so it's extremely flexible and can take on nearly any shape. You can solder to it, and the tape itself can carry current just like a wire. On the back is an electrically conductive adhesive. The adhesive can't carry significant current, but it is very handy for sensing applications where you don't want to solder the copper tape....

These are like the fancy electronics equivalent of the wire nuts electricians use to bind wires together. They are a lot easier to use as well! Each block connector has a metal block inside and three levers that snap open and close to bind stranded/solid-core wire. No screwdrivers required! They're super handy for free wiring and can handle up to 20A at 300V with UL listing so you can also use them for mains wiring. Use any wires from 12 AWG...

Connect to 0.5mm, 1.0mm and even some 2.0mm pitch connectors that you may run across with an FPC stick. We designed this for use in house, to quickly connect to FPCs we need to test. But we also thought it might be useful for our customers. On either side is a 20 pin 0.5 or 1.0mm pitch connector with long pads and one very long 'mechanical' pad. Each pad is broken out to a 20-pin long 0.1" spaced header. It can accommodate most ZIF...

This wire is flexible, strong, and super easy to solder, too! Stranded core wire is best used for wiring jigs where theres bending or movement expected. Works well with terminal blocks as well. It's not great for use with breadboards (without tinning) For prototyping with breadboards, perfboards, and terminal blocks check out our solid-core wires. Comes with one 25ft spool of yellow wire. The wire is 22AWG stranded with an outer...

These Female/Female Jumper Wires are handy for making wire harnesses or jumpering between headers on PCB's. These premium jumper wires are 12" (300mm) long and come in a 'strip' of 20 (2 pieces of each of ten rainbow colors). They have 0.1" female header contacts on either end and fit cleanly next to each other on standard-pitch 0.1" (2.54mm) header. The best part is they come in a 20-pin ribbon cable. You can always pull the ribbon wires off to...

This is a box of six 25ft spools of stranded-core wire. Stranded-core wire is best used for wiring jigs where there's bending or movement expected. It also works well with terminal blocks. It's not great for use with breadboards (without tinning). The wire is easy to solder to, and when bent it keeps its shape pretty well. We like to have a few spools of this stuff around which is why this set is quite nice!...

This stuff is called "wire-wrap wire" because it used to be used for wire-wrapping high-speed digital circuits on a special kind of contact board. It's pretty rare to see wire-wrapping in these days of low-cost PCB fabrication but the wire is still really handy for prototyping work. It's extremely thin (30 AWG!) so your wiring wont get bulky, and it is just stiff enough to hold its shape around corners. It's most commonly used for SMT rework...

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...

You'll find these handy 2-pin 0.1" spacing pig-tails to be quite helpful when wiring up your project. The connector end snaps cleanly into 0.1" spaced header (and fits neatly side by side on 0.1" spacing as well). We think this would be especially useful when paired with our PWM driver breakout, to control 16 PWM LEDs that are wired, but there's probably a dozen other uses.

Experiment with paper electronics with this silver conductive ink pen that will let you draw traces! We like the make of this pen, it has a nice liquid silver ink that flows easily, and it works great. In just 3 minutes from opening the packaging, we made the image above, a coin cell holder with an LED. There are two 'tips' available - standard and micro. The microtip allows for finer control but is a little harder to use (because it...

Silicone-sheathing wire is super-flexible and soft, and its also strong! Able to handle up to 200°C and up to 600V, it will do when PVC covered wire wimps out. We like this wire for being extremely supple and flexible, so it is great for wearables or projects where the wire-harness has to be able to deal with a lot of bending. Comes with one 25ft spool of orange wire. The wire is 26AWG stranded with an outer diameter of 1.5mm.

There are two 'tips' available - standard and micro. The microtip allows for finer control but is a little harder to use (because it doesn't deposit as much silver at once).The CW2200STP (standard tip pen) has an orifice size of 1 mm and will draw traces that will average 2.0 mm in width. The CW2200MTP (micro-tip pen) has an orifice size of 0.7 mm and will draw traces that average 1.5 mm in width. See the image above with a...
