A breadboard with both male and female header pins.
Inspiration
I searched in google about Male Breadboards but no results came up. I thought why only breadboards with female header pins are available in the market. So I decided to make a breadboard with both male and female header pins. And, here we are! A breadboard with both male and female header pins. I hope this project will be useful for everyone who wants to use a breadboard with both male and female header pins. lol
Challenges
Finding 1x40 header pins was a challenge as they are mostly out of stock in India.
How To Use This
- STEP 1: Buy all the things listed in the BOM, and order the PCB.
- STEP 2: Solder the header pins to the PCB.
- STEP 3: Voila! You have your breadboard ready!
- STEP 4: Do Anything With It and have fun! Thank You! Also Please give a star to this poor fellow if you like the project. Thank You Again!

Notes
You can also switch the whole breadboard to male header pins if you want. Just solder the male header pins to the PCB instead of the female header pins. But, I have designed the PCB in such a way that you can easily switch between male and female header pins.
Thank You for Understanding.

Questions
How big is the Male Breadboard PCB?
It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Male Breadboard use?
25 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Male Breadboard KiCad files?
From the aoishik/EQUALITY-BREADBOARD repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Male_Breadboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Male_Breadboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Male Breadboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask aoishik before reusing the design.
