BB-01 Breadboard 830 Tie Point

The BB-01/ MB102 is a full-size solderless breadboard with 830 tie points — the go-to prototyping board for building and testing electronic circuits without any soldering. You simply push component and wire leads into the holes to create instant, reliable connections, then pull them out and rearrange them as often as you like. It is ideal for students, hobbyists, and engineers working with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and discrete components. With standard 2.54 mm (0.1") spacing, it lets you prototype a circuit quickly, fix mistakes in seconds, and reuse the board across thousands of projects.

Key Features

• 830 tie points in total — 630 in the main area for components and ICs, plus 200 on the power rails.
• Solderless design — push-fit connections that need no heat and no tools.
• Fully reusable — insert, remove, and rearrange components thousands of times.
• Two power rails (one on each side) for easy VCC and GND distribution.
• Interlocking edges — snap several boards together for larger circuits.
• Self-adhesive back — mounts firmly to any flat surface.
• Numbered columns and lettered rows for precise component placement.

• Testing a design before committing it to a soldered PCB.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to solder anything to use this breadboard?

No. The BB-01/ MB102 is completely solderless — you push the component or wire leads into the holes to make a connection, and pull them out to change your circuit.

What do the 830 tie points include?

630 points in the central area for components and ICs, plus 200 points on the two side power rails for distributing power (VCC and GND).

What wire size fits the holes?

Standard jumper wires and component leads in the 20–29 AWG range fit best.

Can I connect two breadboards together?

Yes. The edges interlock, so you can snap several boards together to build larger circuits.

What is the difference between the middle rows and the side rails?

In the central area the holes are connected in short vertical columns (for components), while the long side rails are connected horizontally and are used for power and ground.
