Bread Boards OT

edited 2003-06-14 01:24 in General Discussion
Slightly off topic,but does anyone know of a source for small compact bread
boards, something like the ones Parallax uses?
I have spent considerable time myself searching the web, but they always have
the Power rails that take up so much space.
Any help will be appreciated - Thanks

    We originally used a 3M board, but resorted to building our own because of
    volumes. Check with a supplier of 3M parts, you should be able to find a small
    breadboard like that.

    Vector makes 2 sided pad per hole, .1" grid that comes in 10"x10" for
    ~$80. It is on real FR4, not that cheap Smile that Rat Shack sells. I
    then use a pair of sharp sissors or tin snips to cut out what I need.
    IF I am going to make more than one of the same thing I will usually
    etch a board.

    There seems to be some confusion. Do you want solderless a breadboard like
    on the BoEBot, or a prototyping circuit board with a bunch of holes in it?

    http://www.digikey.com/

    923269-ND - Large
    923273-ND - Small

    They seem a bit pricey, but Digikey is the only place I've found
    that sells these particular Terminal Strips.

    I don't mean to quibble, but wouldn't it be a
    good idea to link the rest of your HTML parts
    pages to this part?

    I navigated the Parallax site all over the
    place, and couldn't find my way to this part.

    Even so, thanks for the link!

    Hi Allan,

    We'll make improvements - my first goal was to get this online due to
    the request. We'll make improvements so you can find it easier (by
    adding the product page link to the programming board pages, etc.)

    I posted the breadboard in the online Component Shop in the
    miscellaneous section.

    When using the search, the word "breadboard" is found in a myriad of
    products so the individual solderless breadboard may not be displayed in
    the first listing of 10 products.

    Thanks for the feedback,

    Erik Wood
