Great little boards
5 out of 5 stars
Great little boards
Great for small projects. Each board measures 1.85 x 1.37in. Cool that it fits exactly an arduino micro or metro mini. Nice for testing small modules. Contacts are smooth and firm and interconnecting the boards to get a larger footprint is easy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE THESE - Just ordered MORE! Perfect for IoT Widgets
    Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2015

    Just ordered 2 more paks! PERFECT! One review said they thought they would miss the power rails, but didn't, and I echo that. Perfect for, as pointed out in that Review, ATtiny BUT look also at ESP8266/HUZZAH WiFi programmable with Arduino IDE!!! Throw those ~$10 RF/Processor boards onto one of these, and 'toss them around.'

    I found the holes to be just the right size for wire-wrap wires and header leads. They also can mate together notch/hole like dominoes in play.

    With small, battery-powered project and little all-in-one connected boards, you find that 1 master power rail is really not missed as you probably have multiple rails running around (Vbatt, 3V, 5V, 6-12V , A/D Ref); just use a "column" for these - you have 4 holesWiFi / 802.11 Development Tools HUZZAH ESP8266 Breakout (1 piece) to distribute power from - plenty.

    Gotta say again, LOVE THESE!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good size for use with nodemcu
    Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2018

    I bought these for use with the nodeMCUs that I had previously purchased. These mini breadboards allow you to mount the nodeMCU and have just enough room for one jumper wire for each connection point on the nodeMCU.

    The different colors are nice in that you can more easily tell which nodeMCU is which, since I have two that are identical.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good but vary in type across lots
    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    These are really great...the only weird thing about them is that I've bought about fifteen of these packages before and some of the boards are a different species...they are made from a slightly different plastic (no big deal), but there are at least two different species of dovetails (which are incompatible with one another) and at least one species without any dovetails at all. If you're planning on linking these little breadboards, that could be a problem.

    However every pack of six that I've gotten has been compatible within its self...as in when I get six they are all the same type (dovetail type 1, dovetail type 2, or no dovetail at all). Weird, I realize, but this isn't annoying unless you're buying in larger lots like me so only one point off.

    5.0 out of 5 stars which is nice too. Apparently they also clip together
    Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Unlike some other boards on Amazon, these have very low resistance, as tested by my meter. They also have a padded backing, but it's not anti-slide, so I'm not sure why it needs padding. The backing does set it apart from other boards, though. The rows and columns are numbered/lettered, and they have little mounting holes, which is nice too. Apparently they also clip together, but I haven't used that feature. Definitely worth the purchase.

    The pins are not just stiff, many of the holes do not even accept a lead of any sort, chip pin or header.

    If it just required some wiggling I'd be OK with that because of the price, but it really doesn't have 170 tie points. It has 170 holes in the plastic outer case, and maybe 100 usable tie points randomly distributed, with many whole rows totally unusable.

    The boards are fine but the openings of the holes are larger than my old breadboards. Consequently the parts that I used to snapping in (1/4 watt resisitor, axial and radial electrolytic caps, xstrs, ICs) are fairly loose in these breadboard. Still a decent buy for the money.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Decent backup breadboards for the price
    Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Decent hobby breadboards, nice that they link together and cool that I can put a component on each board and then click them together after I finalize the wiring - and can go wide as well as long when you link them together. But, there is a lot of wiggle room in the holes, wires pull out much easier than on quality breadboards, so I find that I don't use them much except when my best breadboards are already in use.

    These are simple, no frills protoboards. I think they are awesome and they let you build small test circuits with plenty of room.
    Their inexpensive cost allows you to build circuits and leave them built when you get distracted onto the next circuit.
    If you are looking for bells and whistles this is not your item. However at less than one US dollar per board, well you figure it out.
