Have you ever needed to solder a breadboard to something?

Well now you can!

I needed these for my project Jumperless, and it turns out no one was selling anything like this so I decided to design my own and have them manufactured. But now I have way more of these than I need and I assume there are other makers out there looking for something similar.

These are sold in multiples of 10

(Tindie doesn't allow prices below $1, so they're $0.35 each.)

So you'll need 8 orders (80 clips) for a 400-point half size breadboard.

You don't need to worry about ordering extra to account for mishaps, I send ~20% more clips than you order to account for my bad counting skills and to let you play around with them without stressing about ruining some.

The slot in the bottom was designed to fit a WS2812C-2020-v1 addressable RGB LED (pro tip: rough up the tops of the LEDs to diffuse them, it looks much nicer with these clips)

These clips are made out of Phosphor Bronze which is the same stuff they use for the higher end breadboards and make excellent electrical contact.

They'll fit nicely in a regular breadboard, or you can get a plastic shell from me in a variety of materials and colors (the ones I currently have say "Jumperless" in the middle and also have little feet in the corners, I'll have some unbranded ones soon.)
