Breadboards, issues, quality, the hunt for well made

Catwell
Catwell over 15 years ago

Over the course of many years of engineering I have used countless solderless breadboards. And through this time I have noticed that many of my projects refused to work when using certain ones, or isolated areas on a second, or the values of my components changed while using a third. It seems that the quality is pretty hit or miss. I once spend a weekend trying to make a circuit work on one board before having the same circuit work flawlessly on another.


Since I am not sure of the build quality of any breadboard, I've turned to you, the community, for help in this area. What is the best, highest quality, and rugged breadboard available?


Also, while we are on this subject, I am also looking for a high amperage breadboard. I have melted a few in the past.

    Excellent options. I still like the ease of popping in/out components on a breadboard. Technically speaking, in an ideal situation I would not have to question solder connections with a breadboard. And…

    I am not part of the 3M machine, so don't worry. I only suggested 3M for quality reasons. I just want a breadboard with certain amount of Q&A, not part of the millions that fall off of an assembly line…

    I grew up using Wisher branded boards without ever really encountering any issues - element14 appear to have some of them still https://au.element14.com/c/tools-production-supplies/prototyping-tools-breadboards…

    I tend to use Bud breadboard and pre-made wires without too many issues. They don’t get used that heavily, and come from Digikey the last time I bought them I’m afraid - sorry e14!
