Side-breads

A "side-bread" is a PCB with doubled 2-pin headers on the side. Each pair acts as a pass-through, with the top headers used for jumper wires to the breadboard area next to them. It turns a breadboard into something which can be inserted onto one or more baseboards.

Single 400-hole breadboard

This version has one 20-pin header on each side:

Double 800-hole breadboard

There is also a larger version, with two 800-hole breadboards and a total of four 20-pin headers, two on each side:

To reduce the total width, the inner supply "rails" between the two breadboards have been removed, i.e. only the outside rails are present.

So to be precise, this sideboard has only 1400 holes, not 2x 800 holes.
