## Description

This 2×5 (10-pin) IDC breadboard helper makes it easy to connect standard 10-pin IDC ribbon cables to a breadboard or Perma-Proto board. The two-piece design consists of a pin-through socket that straddles the centre of a breadboard and a male header that plugs into the top of the socket. A practical and affordable solution for prototyping with IDC cables, which are otherwise difficult to use with breadboards. Works best when soldered in place.
