Also known as solderless breadboards. A contact point inside each hole creates a connection without soldering. Use the terminal strips to connect your electronic components.

Boards with 170 contact points are often used for prototyping applications since they’re smaller. They’re available in a variety of colors to keep multiple prototyping projects organized.

Boards with 400, 830, or 2,390 contact points include distribution strips that ground connections and send power to your electronic components. Some also include connection posts, so you can connect to an external power supply. To organize your connections, choose a board with numbered and lettered holes.

Polyoxymethylene boards handle higher temperatures than ABS boards, which makes them good for burn-in testing.

Also known as project boxes, these circuit boards are shaped to fit the included enclosure, so you don’t have to cut your board. Made of ABS plastic, the enclosure won’t crack or break from impact. The circuit boards have copper holes and solder pads, so you can solder components to the board for more permanent electrical connections than solderless circuit boards.

Rapidly prototype and troubleshoot issues on a solderless circuit board and then transfer your final design to a board with solder pads for permanent connections. These kits come with two boards that have the same markings and layout, so it's easy to translate your prototype to your final design.
