Prototype Board Kit

AKUNSZ Prototype Board Kit, 30 PCS Double Sided PCB Board Prototype Kit with 5 Sizes - 2x8cm, 3x7cm, 4x6, 5x7cm, 7x9cm + 10PCs PCB Mount Screw Terminal Block + 30Pcs Breakaway Male and Female Header

This product is not necessary, however I found that using one takes away the need for a breakout board and cleans up the mess of wires that you might end up with. 

Solder Wire
