I wish someone would come out with a pre-cut jumper wire kit that has every size in every color! I do not use “red” for “loooong” functions, I use it for “Vcc”. Blue or black is usually “ground/0V”, not “medium length wire”.

I’m still looking for a collection of jumper wires like I’m describing. It sounds like @FND117 is saying that this box includes varied colors & lengths — did they change this product at some point?

I love jumper wires, but these are great for fixed distance on a breadboard. It would be awesome if you offered variances of this kit that left out the long types and included just wires that would bridge 2,3,4,5 traces on a breadboard. I never have enough of those, for bridging power, ground, two pins, etc. Using jumpers for those connections adds to the rats nest. Using these makes nice clean straight traces on the breadboard for those common connections. Mouser and others sell individual lengths in packs, but it would be really nice to see those here. I could attach those to my bigger purchases here to combine shipping. People will buy individual sizes in quantity. At least I would.

I just KNOW that i will lose the 2mm pieces the minute I open the box.

I am a fan of this collection of jumpers. I LIKE that they are varied lengths and colors. It makes it much easier to do a neat custom job on my boards. Please don’t “organize” them into color coded lengths! I constantly need to use all different lengths of each color. Thanks.

Would have been ordering one if the kit also included BLACK wires in the same length as the red ones…

I saw this kit first from a friend and was amazed by how well thought out it was, so naturally i ordered two. However, what i got were really shitty wires, curvy, some weren’t even bent properly and the color respective to each lenght was different (also two colors had the same length). That was my main selling point, that the color helped out to sort out which wire to use! AND, there’s another kit that IS assembled properly with 25 pieces of each length that costs about 9 dollars on amazon! I really can’t stress enough how disappointed I am with this purchase…

I find that using these for breadboard-like soldered protoboard is the best usage. You save A LOT of assembly time and the wiring isn’t ending ina cludge of spaghetti. For the classic breadboard prototyping, I tend to use SFE jump wire for the same reason than Pearce. (truly a time saving beauty!)

Yeah, it comes down to what you want. There are stiff, and it’s best if you use pliers to insert the pins into your breadboard. However, if you have a mess of wires, the normal jumpers can come out very easily. These stay in if you’re using multiple boards and such.

I know, right? These kits come in REALLY handy.

I too dislike the rigidity of these, I prefer using the Premium Jumper Wires instead, they’re much more flexible.

I got the nearly identical one from The Shack and my only complaint is that they aren’t very flexible, they’re almost as stiff as paper clips of the same gauge.

if it came with the breadboard in the picture, that would be epic. :)

I didn’t get this kit, but I have one very very similar to this one. I love the way you have a size to fit almost any distance on a bradboard perfectly.

Surprised there are no comments for this product yet.
I’d just like to say I’m extremely happy with them - beats the heck out of stripping your own wires each time, especially for the small 2-10mm sections.
Very useful!
