The full size MB-102 solderless breadboard, 830 tie points across 63 columns. Room to lay several modules or sensors side by side and still have space to wire between them, which is where a 400 point board runs out. Tin-plated phosphor bronze clips hold component leads and jumper wire firmly, and the power rails run the full length of both sides.
- 830 tie points: 630 terminal strip + 200 power rail
- 63 numbered columns, rows labelled A to J
- Tin-plated phosphor bronze contact strips
- 2.54mm pitch, fits DIP ICs and dev board headers
- Takes 20 to 29 AWG solid wire and component leads
- Power rails on both sides unclip from the main board
- Interlocking tabs so you can join boards together
- Self-adhesive backing for bench or enclosure mounting

Quick start guide
What's in the box
Single board with both power rails fitted. Adhesive backing pre-applied on the underside. Components and jumper wires are not included.
Great for
Getting started
- Orient the board
Rows are labelled A to E and F to J either side of the centre gap. Columns number across the board from 1 to 63.
- Understand the connections
All five holes in a row (A to E, or F to J) are joined together. The centre gap separates the two halves, which is what lets a DIP IC straddle it with each side of pins on its own set of rows.
- Use the power rails
The red (+) and blue (-) rails on each side run the full length of the board. Feed your supply in here, then use short jumpers to bring power across to your components.
- Insert components and wires
Push leads straight in until they seat firmly. Pull straight back out to remove them. Wiggling a lead sideways can bend fine component pins.
- Split or join boards as needed
The side power rails unclip if you want a narrower board or a spare rail on its own, and the interlocking tabs let you slide two boards together into one wider work surface.
Note: the 300V / 3 to 5A figure is the supplier's contact rating. In practice a breadboard is a low-voltage bench tool: the strips are exposed and the contact paths are long, so keep it to typical 3.3V and 5V logic and small signal work rather than mains or high-current wiring. Keep jumper wires short as well, since long loops pick up noise and can upset fast digital signals.
