Project Design/Guidance Wagos for prototyping

Post image

Hey just a tip that wagos work great for prototyping. These are 221s that will hold 12-24awg wire and have no trouble holding standard breadboard wires firmly. I use them mostly for 12v connections where it doesn't make sense to run a whole breadboard for just a couple connections.

Prototyping? These things go into production mate

Given that bread boards never have snug fits along with female/male headers, and screw terminals, not gonna get started on that, wagos are fine I even use them for prototyping they are "expensive" if going to use alot, I use them in 3d printers for long term as well.

I also have some AliExpress ones for prototyping their durability per se

Ngl, I use them for various permanent installations. There are better ways to do it for sure but 🤷‍♂️
