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.

Plug-in BreadBoard
The SB400 Solderable PC BreadBoard
enables you to transfer your circuit and wires
from a plug-in breadboard without recutting
wires or changing your layout. The SB400
has the same pattern and spacing as a
standard 400 connection point BB400
solderless plug-in breadboard.
It has a standard 5-hole strip for each IC pin,
just like solderless breadboards plus 4 power
rails. However, it has the advantage that
soldered joints provide a more reliable long-
term connection than solderless contacts.
The SB400 has four power rails like
solderless breadboards, plus two bonus rails
for power or signals. There are bonus two-
hole pads along the centerline allowing DIL
(dual in-line) headers to be used. BPS
prototyping boards use high-quality FR4
glass epoxy PCBs for long life, with an anti-
tarnish protective coating for easy soldering.
