Discount Elenco 350 Piece Pre-formed Jumper Wire Kit

Customer Ratings:

These are nice little pre-cut jumpers. The case they come in is nice and there is a good assortment of sizes for the money.

These are solid wire (not stranded) and very stiff. It's great if when you have a jumper that fits exactly for your breadboard spacing, otherwise some "encouragement" is needed to bend the wires to fit.

UPDATE: Someone asked me to post the lengths of the wires included and that's when I actually counted them. My kit only has 13 wires, not 14. I'm not sure if it's the same kit and the description is wrong, or if Amazon is stocking/shipping the wrong kit. In looking closer my storage box looks like it's missing a compartment compared to the product photo. The wires that are in the kit work well, but the product description is potentially misleading.

Here are the measurements of the wires in the kit I received:

* Red sm: 1/8"

* Yellow sm: 5/16"

* Orange sm: 1/4"

* Green sm: 1/2"

* Blue: 9/16"

* Dk. Purple: 5/8"

* Grey: 11/16"

* White: 13/16"

* Lt. Purple: 1"

* Red: 2" (measured 1 7/8")

* Orange: 4"

* Yellow: 5"

* Green: 6"

This kit is nothing like how it's pictured, the plastic box is smoky white and not see-through. There are only 12 compartments so a lot more is mixed together than pictured and even after a replacement by Amazon I received multiple jumpers that were damaged and no where near the 350 pieces that is described.

This jumper kit is a "must have" for any electronics hobbyist or student. I built hundreds of circuit boards with pieces of wire everywhere. You could barely distinguish which wire went where. With this wire set, my projects are neater, cleaner, and well organized. I love this jumper kit.

Honest reviews on Elenco 350 Piece Pre-formed Jumper Wire Kit

I am an Electrical Engineer and constantly have to work with breadboards and circuits. This kit is really handy when trying to keep things nice and neat. Only real downside is, when you're trying to freeball something or just testing things out, it gets really hard to use this kit because you haven't sized everything and laid it out to accept all the right lengths of wire. Honestly if you're just going to use this for college projects or hobby projects I'd get it, but when you are building your projects for the first time, just use regular wire. It'll be messier to troubleshoot, but saves your the aggravation of having to move the chips all around to accept the wiring size. Overall good kit for permanent projects, not for testing circuits.

If your doing electronics worth with a breadboard, make sure you have a set of jumpers like this. Its far easier using pre-bent and stripped wires then doing it yourself and you get a decent amount of colors and lengths. All of mine were straight, stripped well, and I've had no issues. The box is also very nice, keeping the jumpers organized, even when you drop it (though it is plastic so be careful as it will of course break if dropped from too high onto a hard surface). I couldn't find a better price and with free 2-day shipping it got here before my arduino board which I ordered the week before!
