Polypanel Electronics Kit Construction Kit by fredrik

Description

Updated 2019-05-17: Added diode and alternative transistor panels (marked NEW! below). Photos to follow. An experimental set of triangular polypanels that hold various electronics components, suitable for simple experiments (that you'll have to make up yourself for the time being :-). The panel connectors are made from male header strip pins that are cut into 1-pin pieces and pressed into the holders (I recommend getting a few different colors, e.g. red/black for plus/minus), and the component leads are then soldered to the connectors, either directly or using AWG22-24 wire (~0.5 mm diameter) or similar. To create the circuits, the panels are connected using "dupont" female/female jumper cables. All this and the components mentioned below should be available from your local electronics supplier, and can also be sourced from ebay/banggood/aliexpress etc. Note that preparing the panels can be a bit fiddly, and there are different ways to do it. You may want to print out some generic panels and practice a bit until you find an approach that works for you, before you wire up the real components. For the actual experiments, I recommend powering your circuits from a cheap USB powerbank or a small AA/AAA battery pack, or perhaps a 9 V battery. Stay away from wall power. Also, you really don't want to step on these panels. Currently available panels (more are on the way): component-resistor for plain resistors (ISO symbol only at the moment, sorry). A few values from the E3 series…
