Blue 170-Point Mini Breadboard for Compact Circuit Builds
This compact solderless breadboard provides a predictable layout for quick circuit mockups and teaching demos where parts need to be moved often. Standard spacing supports common through-hole components, keeping small builds tidy. A practical tip is to map each node before wiring so jumpers stay short on a portable prototyping platform with 0.1-inch / 2.54 mm spacing.
Product Condition
Unused, New Old Stock.
Product Overview
This 170 tie-point mini breadboard uses internal spring metal clips to hold component leads securely without solder. Tie points are organized into isolated 5-hole strips with a center groove that allows DIP-style ICs to straddle two independent node fields. The small footprint suits bench work, classroom kits, and field experimentation where space is limited.
Unlike larger boards, this mini format omits fixed power rails, so voltage and ground are distributed using jumper wires as needed. Side interlocks allow multiple boards to be connected together to expand the working area.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are the tie points electrically connected?
Each group of five holes is internally connected as one node, while all other groups are electrically isolated.
What is the purpose of the center groove?
The groove lets DIP ICs and similar packages sit across two sides so each pin row connects to a separate node group.
Are power and ground rails built in?
No. This 170-point mini breadboard relies on jumper wires to distribute power and ground.
What types of components fit this board?
It matches standard 2.54 mm spacing used by resistors, capacitors, LEDs, sensors, transistors, DIP ICs, Dupont wires, and many small breakouts.
You can set up point-to-point hobbyist circuit experiments using isolated 5-hole connection strips, seat a DIP IC across the center groove, and distribute power with jumper wires inside a compact kit or enclosure.
