Breadboards

Solderless options run from 830- and 400-point boards to 4.5×3.5 cm minis and self-adhesive translucent boards. Adafruit Perma-Proto PCBs copy breadboard rail layout onto solderable copper, so a working layout transfers directly. SMT adapters bridge QFN, TQFP and SSOP parts to 2.54 mm.
