Solderless breadboards allow you to quickly plug in, remove, and swap components without the need for a soldering iron, making the prototyping phase fast, safe, and completely reusable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable at Tomson Electronics, the GL-12 model provides a substantial prototyping area with a total of \u003cstrong\u003e840 tie points\u003c\/strong\u003e. The central component area is divided into 128 groups of 5 connected terminals, perfect for mounting standard DIP integrated circuits and microcontrollers. Along the edges, it features 8 independent buses of 25 connected terminals to easily distribute power and ground connections. With standard 2.54mm (0.1\") pitch spacing, it perfectly accommodates jumper wires, resistors, LEDs, and modern microcontroller boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeople also search for:\u003c\/strong\u003e gl12 breadboard, solderless breadboard 840, large breadboard, prototyping board, gl-12, breadboard 2.54mm pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e GL-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Tie Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e 840\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Strip (Component Area):\u003c\/strong\u003e 128 groups of 5 connected terminals (640 Tie Points)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistribution Strips (Power Rails):\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 buses of 25 connected terminals (200 Tie Points)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 175mm x 67mm x 8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Pitch:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.54 mm (0.1 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21 to 26 AWG solid core wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABS plastic (White)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phosphor bronze nickel plated clips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-adhesive backing and interlocking tabs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eApplications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCircuit Prototyping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rapidly building and testing temporary circuits before committing them to a soldered perfboard or custom PCB.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEducational Kits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Providing a safe, solder-free platform for students to learn about resistors, LEDs, logic gates, and microcontrollers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrocontroller Development:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serving as the central hub for wiring sensors, displays, and modules to Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi boards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIC Testing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easily verifying the functionality of DIP chips and logic gates without risking thermal damage from soldering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How are the holes connected internally?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: In the main central area, the terminals are connected vertically in groups of five (128 groups total) separated by the center gap. The red and blue power rails running along the top and bottom act as 8 independent buses of 25 connected terminals to easily distribute power where needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the gap down the middle of the board for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: The center channel is perfectly sized for \u003cstrong\u003eDIP (Dual In-line Package)\u003c\/strong\u003e integrated circuits. When you place a microchip across the gap, the pins on the left side are electrically isolated from the pins on the right side, preventing a short circuit while giving you 4 active tie points on each side to wire to the chip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: My circuit is too big for one board. Can I combine them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes! The GL-12 breadboards have small interlocking tabs and slots molded into the plastic sides. You can slide two or more boards together to expand your 175x67mm workspace into one massive prototyping surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × Solderless Breadboard GL-12 (840 Tie Points)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TOMSON ELECTRONICS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49700052947,"sku":"RBA-02844","price":62.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2132\/9029\/products\/BREAD_BOARD.png?v=1784634307","url":"https:\/\/www.tomsonelectronics.com\/products\/bread-board","provider":"Tomson Electronics ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
