Featured categories in this collection
Solderless Breadboards
-
Full-size & mini breadboards with power rails
- Stick-on backs for mounting in kits and project boxes
- Great for quick experiments and classroom teaching
Tip: Use solderless breadboards while experimenting, then migrate to perfboard, stripboard, or proto shields once the circuit is stable—especially for robots and student projects that will be carried around.
Breadboard & protoboard chooser (quick guide)
| Need |
Good first choice |
Notes |
| Fast experiment / classroom exercise |
Full-size breadboard + jumper kit |
Best for temporary circuits; easy to rewire during lessons and debugging. |
| Prototype that will travel or vibrate |
Perfboard or stripboard |
Soldered joints hold up better in robots, demo kits, and capstone projects. |
| Custom shield for Arduino/ESP |
Proto shield matching your board |
Lets you build your own shield: add sensors, headers, and terminals on top of Uno/Mega. |
| Small breakout or adapter boards |
Small dot-matrix protoboards |
Ideal for converting modules to headers, or combining a few parts into one tiny PCB. |
| Power & field wiring |
Perfboard + screw terminals |
Use with thicker wire for motors, pumps, or external I/O coming from outside the enclosure. |
| Capstone / thesis main board |
Larger FR4 perfboard |
Gives a cleaner, more “finished” look for panel defense and competitions. |
Use these as starting points—always consider current, voltage, and how often the project will be rewired or moved.

FAQ
Should I start on a breadboard or protoboard?
If you’re still experimenting, start on a solderless breadboard. Once your circuit is final, move it to perfboard or a proto PCB so it’s stronger and less likely to come loose.
Why are my breadboard connections unreliable?
Very thin jumpers, bent pins, or worn-out breadboards can cause intermittent contacts. Use good-quality boards and jumper wires, and avoid over-flexing the same rows repeatedly.
What wire should I use on perfboard?
Use solid-core wire for short on-board jumpers, and stranded wire for connections that will flex or leave the board (motors, external sensors, power).
Can I mount these boards inside an enclosure?
Yes. Many perfboards and proto PCBs have mounting holes. You can also use standoffs, screws, or 3D-printed brackets to secure them inside a case.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes—Circuitrocks ships breadboards, protoboards, and other prototyping supplies anywhere in the Philippines with fast handling on in-stock items.
