About Wire and Cable

Solderless Ready-to-Use Circuit Boards

Also known as solderless breadboards. A contact point inside each hole creates a connection without soldering. Use the terminal strips to connect your electronic components.

Boards with 170 contact points are often used for prototyping applications since they’re smaller. They’re available in a variety of colors to keep multiple prototyping projects organized.

Boards with 400, 830, or 2,390 contact points include distribution strips that ground connections and send power to your electronic components. Some also include connection posts, so you can connect to an external power supply. To organize your connections, choose a board with numbered and lettered holes.

Polyoxymethylene boards handle higher temperatures than ABS boards, which makes them good for burn-in testing.

Circuit Board Headers

Straight Male Header

90° Angle Male Header

Straight Female Header

Use these headers to make quick, temporary connections to development boards and other circuit boards when prototyping. Solder the termination contacts directly to your board, and use the mating contacts to transmit power and send signals to your equipment.

Choose male headers if you need to plug your board into something else, such as a separate circuit board or breadboard. Choose female headers if you need to plug something into your board, such as circuit board wires or other accessories.

90° angle headers fit snugly against circuit boards, creating a low-profile connection in tight spaces.
