A 170-point solderless breadboard is a compact, reusable board commonly used for prototyping small electronics circuits without soldering. It's great for beginners, hobbyists, and quick circuit testing.
Key Features
Total Tie Points: 170
Size: Typically around 47mm x 35mm
Layout:
2 power rails (optional, depending on the model)
17 rows x 10 columns (2 sets of 5 connected tie-points per row)
No metal backing (often has adhesive foam and mounting holes)
Color: Often white, red, blue, green, or black
Can be daisy-chained: Has side grooves to connect multiple boards together
Usage
Ideal for use with Arduino Nano, Uno, ESP8266, sensors, and small modules.
Fits comfortably on top of or next to a small microcontroller board.
Commonly used in STEM education, robotics, and electronics experiments.
Connection Info
Each row of 5 holes (per side of the center groove) is electrically connected.
The central groove allows insertion of ICs with separate connections on each side.
Does not have dedicated long power rails like larger 400- or 830-point boards.
