As a professional the price is nothing but the value proposition is questionable. We simply don't use our breadboards very often around here, and when we do it's never for sensitive work. Basically, I've never had a case when I've cared who made our random stock of breadboards. Either they're definitely good enough, or they're definitely bad enough that I need to prototype some other way. (It's common to find that the only circuits I am interested in derisking at the breadboard level are the ones that I can't prototype that way, due to parasitics.) But then, I consider an SOIC-8 package pretty big in our line of work, so what do I know....
- HeyLaughingBoy 6y agoIt's not just you. I haven't seen a breadboard used in professional work in over 20 years. 90% of the time you're going to have to do a PCB layout anyway, so you might as well start there. Even more so since fewer and fewer devices are even made in DIP anymore.
