Product Description
Experience the GENUINE Difference - BusBoard's BB830 and BB400 BreadBoards are now branded to help ensure you know you are getting the quality, precision, and reliability you expect. Look for the BB400 Part #, black and red power rail indicators, and horizontal legend orientation.BB400 is a solderless (plug-in) breadboard with 400 connection tie-points (i.e. 400 wire insertion holes). It has 4 power rails.Solderless breadboards are great for building and testing new circuits because parts can be easily inserted and removed. They are completely re-usable. The BB400 has a 300 tie-point IC-circuit area plus four 25 tie-point power rails. The housing is made of white ABS plastic, with a printed legend giving numbers and letters for columns and rows. The internal contacts are phosphor bronze with a plated nickel finish.A peelable adhesive tape backing is provided for attaching it to a surface.BPS BreadBoards are Lead-Free and RoHS Compliant. Finished projects can be moved to a SB400 Solderable PC BreadBoard to make them permanent.
Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Learn more how customers reviews work on AmazonCustomers say
Customers like the connectivity, modularity, ease of use, and value of the electrical distribution board. They mention that the parts and wires were held in place well, it can be fastened together side by side or end to end, and that the option to attach to other units is freakishly useful. They also appreciate performance, and quality. That said, some complain about the holes. Opinions are mixed on size.

Customers are mixed about the size of the electrical distribution board. Some mention it's the exact right size and keeps everything nice and tidy, while others say it' s too small and not full size.
"...admittedly cost a bit more, but which are also an easy fit for all the same components." Read more
"...It is a decent size...." Read more
"It was smaller than the picture looks - half the size of my old one. I do like the dual power rails on each side...." Read more
"A good small breadboard; all the connections that I've used so far are solid and consistent...." Read more
Customers are not satisfied with the holes in the electrical distribution board. They mention that the holes are small and not the same exact size. Some customers also say that the resistors seem a bit small.
"...that the bus strips along the sides have breaks in them and the holes don't line up with the central breadboard area...." Read more
"...nitpicky, I guess I could take a star away due to each hole in the board being fairly small, but again that would just be nitpicking for no reason!" Read more
"...Very practical and useful. I do think some of the holes are not same exact size as some resistors seem a bit harder to engage than others." Read more
"small holes..." Read more

All TO-92 transistors, ICs, diodes, capacitors, resistors, and 0.1" header pins inserted smoothly into this breadboard, and the connections are solid and reliable. I was especially impressed that my metal film resistors (with ridiculous hair-thin leads) made reliable contacts. On my old cheap same-size, no-name breadboard, it became a nightmare when the thin leaded resistors made intermittent contacts. I ended up having to shove in a header pin in the same hole with each resistor lead to get a reliable contacts. Also, I had to work almost every hole with a safety pin in order to enlarge the hole, and line up board's contacts for the heavier leaded components and jumper wires. I didn't have to do any of this on this breadboard. So far it's been working perfect. I have not had a one intermittent connection issue.
Finally, make sure the breadboard you buy has "BusBoard.com" printed on the edge along with the model number "BB400" like on this breadboard. I won't buy a no-name brand breadboard ever again.
I highly recommend this board from BusBoard Prototype Systems.
I know what you're thinking right now. "Well, I want to buy it.. and I'd really like to have a breadboard.. but I don't know if I should spend my money on this or a McDonald's value meal." Wonder no more, you have to buy this thing. You don't need to eat, but you do need to build epic electrical circuits and get your prototyping game up in preparation for a robot invasion. Ditch McDonald's and get an awesome breadboard (like this one (preferably this one)).
I was so stoked when I received this package in the mail. I immediately took it inside and opened the box. I was greeted with a piece of paper taped to what looked like a bag that marijuana would be kept in. But there was no marijuana, as the breadboard inside was simply too awesome to be roommates with any controlled substance. So I removed the breadboard and slapped it up on the ole' desk. "Finally," I thought, "it is here!" Without thinking twice, I whipped out the Fluke multimeter and started to test the tie points. "TROLLED LOL," is the response I was greeted with, as I have no proper breadboard leads for my multimeter. Well played, you sly device.
My only complaint is that the package didn't include the wallet full of cash to buy more breadboards. I'm really sure that was in the description. Oh gee, Amazon, false advertise much?
On second thought, I may have read the wallet thing in a Lost & Found ad on craigslist. You win this round, Amazon.
I can't even mark it as a negative because of the functionality, but the side power bands do seem like they come off the unit a little too easily. After I finalize some sort of case design, i'll be gluing them together. In the meantime, the adhesive backing does a good job of keeping everything intact as it is not scored or perforated (read: knife required if you want to remove/move the power bands around). Having both + & - lines on either side really helps clean up the wiring, and definitely makes drafting the schematics a little easier.
All in all, this seems to be the best breadboard I've come across. I'm happy I ordered 4 of them, and I'm fairly confident I'll be looking for this one again when/if I ever need more of them.
**mentioned above another generic ordered, this is the link to it. Bonus for this kit is it includes all the other goodies.
