breadboard with holes in it
« on: December 22, 2024, 07:15:38 am »
sometimes I don't want to trim the leads of the parts but I want to use a breadboard.

is there a breadboard with holes in it so you can push down parts so you just get a bunch of stubs. it would stand on posts

Aren't the typical n*(5+5) pin plastic breadboard modules all open at the bottom, until the manufacturer mounts them on a baseplate or sticks on some padded adhesive tape?

No, because the contact spring strips have closed bottoms.  Without the tape/foam, a too long component lead can push the contact strip out of its slot.

Duh, you are right of course. It's been too long since I took a few of these apart to build some breadboard watches.

I have seen shitty powerstrips built in a way that could work
