Breadboard Jumper Wire Red & Black
« on: August 16, 2019, 04:27:27 pm »
Does anyone know where to get a load of jumper wires (male-to-male) that are only red and only black?

I have loads of colours but 90% of the time I'm in a "positive/negative" situation where these two colours are best.

I've seen individual ones (20p each :-DD) but, obviously, want them at a sensible price.

Cheers.

eBay. I've seen bundles of single color/length before.

I bought rolls of red and black-insulated #22 solid wire for just this purpose.  I cut the wires to size, and when I'm done I throw them in a little box for later use.
We'll search out every place a sick, twisted, solitary misfit might run to! -- I'll start with Radio Shack.

Cheers but when you push them into the breadboard doesn't the insulation just move and cover the end?

The ones I have now have "proper" termination.

Won't do that with a bend in it or if you pinch while inserting. If you were making a ton of them you could always crimp your own wires.

It's just a matter of technique.

Use a crimping tool to attach connectors.
