Neat PSU for solderless breadboards.

Was surfing aimlessly when I stumbled across this little gem, and instantly thought about the recent thread about cheap breadboards here...

I have one of those PSU's but got it from a different vendor. They are neat since you can select the 3.3V or 5V voltage on the power buss of the bread board. The 8 pin header allows access to GND, 3.3V and 5 V but it you need male to female jumpers. If the header was female you could use just jumper wire. You also can power it by USB but you need a full size A to A style connector USB cable and I have yet to find one those cables.

EDIT: Found A to A USB cables but the cheapest I saw was around $15. Too pricey, I'll stick to using a wallwart to power it.

Not a buck, but close. Here's a link to them on EBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/KDQ11-BREADBOARD-POWER-SUPPLY-MODULE-3-3-5V-MB102-FOR-ARDUINO-BOARD-SCA-1718-/221229920545?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item338254b121

Just bought 2 myself.

I was wondering about hte type A USB connector on the board. 'Odd choice, unless it can be also used to output +5V to other devices when powered from a wall wart.
