Great idea [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-89b16892-a209-46d7-93fc-4093e58e78c2/2783.contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16] I made my own alligator clip terminated multimeter leads years ago so they can clip directly onto components. This blog post had inspired me to make some terminated with breadboard wires since measurements on breadboards is a regular part of "Timmy" my multimeters pastime!

Thanks for the idea

John:
This is great stuff - i love the photos and how precise you are with your labeling of the wires. I've tagged this blog so that it will appear on the STEM Academy - teachers and educators who might be new to breadboards and using them in the classroom will benefit from this information. Keep up the good work!

Great piece! Makes me want to start tweaking my breadboard too.

Great idea.

I have one of these (well similar with the jacks) but because of the size, it's not often used.

I might have to make some of your leads ...much more friendly on smaller boards.

Good blog John.

I have to say, you keep your wires in very good shape with labels and nice heat shrink tubing.

My lab is considerably more messy.

Keep up the good work,

Nicely done, John!

I'm doing something similar using a female barrel jack adapter with screw terminals, in which I can fasten a couple of jumper wires [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-89b16892-a209-46d7-93fc-4093e58e78c2/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]
