So you've got an idea for a new prototype that could possibly reshape the entire future of electronics forever... or you're just getting started and would like to see your Arduino make a light blink... either way, a breadboard and breadboard wires are going to be an essential part of your protyping phase.
Step one: Buy Breadboard.
Now that you've got your breadboard, you're going to need some appropriate wire. To make things easy, we've summarized a few different types of breadboard wires, and discussed their value in making connections.
Solid core wire is probably the most common bulk breadboarding wire. Typically sold in spools of various lengths and many different colors, this wire helps keep your projects organized and color coded. Most boards recommended 22awg or 0.8mm.
Many breadboards come with assortments of pre-cut and bent wires, often with tinned leads. These wires usually come in a few different sizes, and are typically sorted by color (color denotes size).
Fragile - While not as fragile as normal wires these can also break off in the holes of a breadboard if they are over-stressed.
Stranded Wire - Stranded wires makes wiring breadboards very difficult due to stray strands and issues with the spring contacts inside of the breadboard not gripping.
Magnet Wire - this type of wire is often hard to strip.
Thin Wire - Stick to solid core wire with a gauge of around 22awg for best results. Thin wire can be difficult to strip and brittle. With decisions such as color, cost, durability, and length to consider for your breadboard wires, they aren't a one-size-fits-all option.
For a student whose project may be moved around, more durable wires, such as male to male jumpers, may be needed, while for professional use, solid core wire delivers a more professional look. Of course, it's important to keep a well stocked supply box.
Having a variety of wires ready to go can make the difference between completing your project today.
