Me a few days ago, shopping on Amazon: “All the component and jumper wire leads are going to be on the bottom anyway; why shouldn’t I get a pack of single-sided breadboards for $6.25 instead of double-sided ones for $10?”
Me today, after having lifted three pads off the damn board in 10 minutes: “Oh, that’s why.”
Get the double-sided breadboards; they’re worth it.
Perfboards?
These can be double sided and can be soldered to.
Breadboads can only be one sided.
Edit: this is a solderless breadboard. Non-solderless breadboards do exist, as I learned today.
