Build and test a circuit in one sitting, then pull the parts out and build the next one. This 400-point solderless breadboard gives you labelled rows, red and blue power rails and jumper wires, so testing stops meaning soldering. It works for classroom labs, Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects and any bench where the design keeps changing.
400 tie points for solderless circuit prototyping
- soldering time for test circuits
- reworking circuits that were permanently wired
- tangled or unorganised power connections
Test circuits in minutes, not afternoons
Before: soldering every test circuit and rebuilding it after each mistake. After: 400 tie points on a board you can wire, check, and rewire in one sitting.
400 Tie Points, Laid Out Clearly
- 400 tie points, laid out clearly
The board has 30 rows of 5 connected holes per half. Columns a-e and f-j are printed on the board, so you can trace each connection with a finger before you power up. The centre channel keeps the two halves apart, which is where ICs sit across the gap. If you want more space, a electronics kit pairs well with it.
- Power rails that stay tidy
Red and blue rails run along both sides of the board. Keep red for supply and blue for ground, and your power leads stay in one place instead of crossing the bench. You can see at a glance which rail a jumper belongs to, which saves you from wiring a circuit backwards.
- Built for changing designs
Nothing on this board is permanent. Snap it to another board when the layout outgrows one, or clear it and start a new circuit. The self-adhesive backing holds it in place on a flat surface, so the board stays put while your jumpers do the work.
The Numbers Behind the Board
- 400tie points on one solderless board
- 30rows of connected holes
- 5connected holes per row half
From Parts Bin to Working Circuit
- 1Seat your components
Straighten the leads, then push each part into its row. Keep the body of the part above the centre channel so each leg lands in a different column group.
- 2Power the rails
Run a red jumper from your supply to the red rail and a blue jumper from ground to the blue rail. Check both against the labels before connecting the power source.
- 3Check a row before powering up
Trace each row against the printed a-e and f-j labels. Two parts sharing a row are connected, so a stray lead can short a circuit if you miss it.
- 4Rewire for the next test
Pull the parts out by the body, not the leads, and place them in the next layout. The holes clear quickly, so the board is ready for the next design.

Every Test Ends in the Same Loop
The soldering loop
You have a circuit idea, and the only way to test it is to solder it. One wrong resistor means desoldering joints, reworking the pads, and losing parts you already paid for. The bench fills up with loose leads while you try to remember which wire went where.
A board that lets you change your mind
A solderless breadboard turns the test surface into something you can reuse. Components push straight into the grid, and the printed row numbers and a-e and f-j column letters make each connection easy to trace. When a design changes, you pull the parts out and place them again.
Test it, then decide
Once the circuit works on the board, you know it is worth building permanently. If it fails, you rewire it in minutes and try again. The board costs less than a single failed soldering session, and it stays ready for the next project.
Reusable Beats Permanent for Testing

| Reusable after each test | Yes | No | Partial |
| Labelled rows and columns | Yes | No | No |
| Colour-coded power rails | Yes | No | No |
| Power leads kept in one place | Yes | Partial | No |

Questions and answers
The grip is firm for standard component leads and jumper wires. Thicker leads can feel looser after several rounds of reuse, so use the jumpers for any connection that has to stay put during a long test. Straighten bent leads before you insert them.
Yes. Solid-core jumpers, LED legs and resistor leads all seat in the holes. Ideally, pair it with a jumper set that matches the lead thickness of your parts, and avoid forcing anything that does not slide in.
Yes. Run jumpers from the microcontroller's header pins to the rails and rows, then build the sensor or LED circuit on the board. Many learners start with an Arduino board uno and a few LEDs, which is exactly the kind of test this board is made for.
Yes, the boards snap together, so a larger circuit can grow across two or more units. Check that the rows and rails line up on both boards before you start wiring.
The rails run along both sides of the board and are marked red and blue. Connect red to your positive supply and blue to ground, then check the wiring against the labels before you apply power. Each rail runs the full length of the board.
Think of it as one board that replaces a new soldering session for every design change. The parts you test stay reusable, so a single board can carry dozens of experiments. For a student or hobbyist, that cuts both the rework time and the cost of parts lost to failed joints.
