Product Overview
170 Tie-Point Mini Breadboard in Yellow - Unused NOS
This mini solderless breadboard is built for fast, repeatable circuit mockups where you want to move parts around without committing to solder. The standard hole spacing matches common headers and through-hole parts, so you can prototype cleanly on a small footprint. Tip: treat each 5-hole strip as one shared node when laying out signals on 0.1-inch / 2.54 mm spacing.
Product Condition

Product Overview
A 170 tie-point breadboard is a compact prototyping platform that uses internal spring contacts to grip component leads and jumper wires. The layout is organized into isolated 5-hole connection strips, with a center groove that lets DIP ICs straddle two separate node fields. This format is a common fit for electronics education, quick point-to-point experiments, and small microcontroller accessory builds where space matters.
Because this mini format does not include dedicated power rails, power and ground are typically distributed using jumper wires across the rows you choose. Side interlock features allow multiple boards to be connected together when you need a longer build area.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are the tie points connected internally?
The holes are grouped into isolated 5-hole strips. Each strip is one shared electrical node, and strips are separated so you can route signals deliberately.
What is the center groove used for?
The center groove lets DIP ICs (and similar packages) straddle both sides so each pin row lands on a separate set of nodes.
Does this mini breadboard include power rails?
No. This 170 tie-point format typically omits dedicated power and ground rails, so supply lines are distributed using jumper wires where needed.
What components and connectors does it work with?
It matches standard 2.54 mm / 0.1-inch spacing for common through-hole parts such as resistors, capacitors, LEDs, sensors, transistors, DIP ICs, Dupont wires, and many screw-terminal breakouts.
You can build computer science class demonstrations using isolated 5-hole connection strips, seat a DIP IC across the center groove, and route power with jumper wires before moving the assembly into an enclosure or kit case.
