Product Overview
White 170-Point Mini Breadboard for Small-Scale Prototyping
This compact solderless breadboard is designed for quick circuit layout changes during lessons, bench tests, and early-stage ideas. Standard spacing supports common through-hole components while keeping builds orderly on a small footprint. A helpful tip is to assign one 5-hole strip per signal early to avoid rewiring on a bench-ready prototyping surface using 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 contacts to grip component leads and jumper wires without solder. Tie points are arranged into isolated 5-hole connection strips, with a central groove that allows DIP-style ICs to span two independent node fields. Its compact size makes it suitable for classroom kits, portable toolboxes, and quick validation builds.
The board does not include fixed power rails, which keeps the footprint small but requires power and ground to be routed with jumper wires. Side interlocks allow multiple boards to be connected together when a larger layout is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are the internal connections arranged?
Each group of five holes is internally connected as one electrical node, and each group is isolated from the others.
What is the function of the center groove?
The groove allows DIP ICs and similar packages to straddle both sides so each pin row lands on a separate node group.
Does this mini breadboard have power rails?
No. Power and ground are distributed using jumper wires to keep the board compact.
Which components fit this breadboard?
It supports standard 2.54 mm spacing used by resistors, capacitors, LEDs, sensors, transistors, DIP ICs, Dupont wires, and many small breakout modules.
You can assemble point-to-point hobbyist circuit experiments using isolated 5-hole connection strips, place a DIP IC across the center groove, and route power with jumper wires inside a portable kit or enclosure.
