Old Prototype Boards

[Darrel Taylor]

I consider them, "One time use only".

And buy a new one for each project. Or actually 4-5 at a time.

Usually leave the parts in them for future reference too.

Hi,

Are you talking about breadboards?



I use 3M solderless breadboards. (300 Series).

- Same insertion force for all the holes of the breadboard.
(The wire will not bend when you try to plug it).

- Gold-plated contacts.

I also use them few times.. not much.

In the past i used some defect one to test the intelligence of new employee.

'ok guy, here's the schematic, here's the parts.. build it on this breadboard as clean as you can... and make it work, you have 15 minutes'
