Electronics Workbench 5.125/6/2021
Im a freelance writer on topics related to Website Optimization (SEO), blogger customizations and making money online.Im blogging since 2006 and Im currently a guest blogger on Blogging With Success.Banana plug test leads (to alligator or mini-clip ) - I use these to connect projects to my power supply more than anything else, but they also plug into the posts on the top of all mounted breadboards, so they have all kinds of uses.Ive found a few great blog posts on the internetz that have Electronic Workbench suggestions.
However, Instructables does not allow me to add random links to a collection. Therefore I am citing these great posts: How to set up an electronics labworkshop at home So You Want to Build Electronics How to equip your EE lab Creating a Mini Maker Space Each step will cover a blog post.

Heres his take on an equipment list: Equipment Needle nose, pliers, and wire cutters Flush cutters Tweezers - Also get plastic ones if youre doing chemical PCB etching. Dental picks - Very nice for scraping, poking, prodding, etc, while soldering. Wire strippers - Youll usually see people using the combination wire strippers crimpers. I wasted too much of my life dealing with these before realizing how much better real wire strippers are. Hot glue gun - Super useful for assembling prototype cases, insulating stuff, etc. ![]() Blue tape - For crudely insulating joints, holding things together, and being a marking surface for hole positions on black plastic. Screwdriver Breadboards - I would buy a few columns more than what you think you need, because running out of space half way through a project sucks. I have 5 single column boards, a two column board, and a 4 column board, which is a little excessive, but I got good deals on them from friends not wanting them after our college electronics classes, and its nice being able to have a few different prototyped projects sitting around at once. Breadboard wires - These are reusable, but at some point you do need to start culling the used ones and replenish the kit. Clip leads Coin envelopes - These are surprisingly useful for storing different values of resistors, or diodes,or anything else tiny. Altoid tins - I love these tins for basic project boxes, as well as storing bulkier components such as transistors and crystals. Solder sucker Solder braid - Once you start soldering parts together, youre going to start making mistakes soldering parts together. These undo those inevitable mistakes. Jewelers loupe - I use this ALL the time to check for solder bridges and cold solder joints. Volt MultiMeter - Repeat after me: do. ![]() You will only ever blow your amp meter fuse when youre using it. Test leads - Volt meters do come with a set of test probes, but its worth investing in a seperate kit that has all the interchangeable points (microclip, spades, alligator clips, etc) Power supply - I managed to find a nice power supply where someone mounted an ATA computer supply in a box with screw lugs for 3.3, 5, 12, and -12V. You can go for a fancy variable supply, but I didnt. At the very least youll want a nice breadboard power supply and a 9V wall wart.
