In 2014 I’ve purchased more 400 pin breadboards that I ever thought possible! Fortunately I’ve found an eBay seller that is reliable. CXB Electronics on ebay is the place to go for large quantities of 400 pin breadboards and jumper wires. Order early as it takes 3 -4 weeks to receive them.

  I placed an eBay order with czb6721960 on 19 June and it arrived 25 June 2014. I think it took me longer to make it to the post office to pick up my supplies than for the package to fly across the Pacific! Free shipping from China can be FAST! 5516 and 5549 Photoreistors   3V and 5V Buzzers […]
