Solderless Breadboard Half Size 400 Point

Description:

A half-size solderless breadboard, typically with 400 tie points, is a rectangular plastic board with a grid of holes and interconnected metal strips underneath. It provides a convenient and reusable platform for prototyping electronic circuits without the need for soldering. Components are easily inserted and connected using jumper wires, making it ideal for experimentation, learning, and quick circuit building, especially when space is a concern.   

Key Features:

• Solderless: Components are connected using push-in wires, eliminating the need for soldering.   
• Reusable: Circuits can be easily modified or disassembled, and the breadboard can be used repeatedly.   
• Interconnected Rows and Columns: The internal metal strips provide electrical connections between the holes, allowing for easy circuit construction.   
• Standard Hole Spacing: The holes are spaced to accommodate standard component leads and jumper wires (0.1 inch or 2.54 mm).
• Adhesive Backing (Often): Many half-size breadboards have an adhesive backing, allowing them to be attached to a surface for stability.   
• Power Rails: Often includes one or two power rails (rows of connected holes) along the sides for easy access to power and ground.   
• Compact Size: Half the size of a standard breadboard, ideal for smaller projects or limited space.   

Applications:

• Prototyping: Quickly building and testing electronic circuits before committing to a permanent design, especially where space is limited.   
• Educational Projects: Learning about basic electronics and circuit design.
• DIY Electronics: Building small hobby projects, experimenting with circuits, and testing ideas.   
• Arduino and Microcontroller Projects: Interfacing with microcontrollers and building related circuits, particularly for portable or space-constrained projects.
• Circuit Debugging: Isolating and testing different parts of a circuit.
