>At best you've reinvented the terminal block screw connector
Actually, that's what I use, but they have metal connectors that I have to crimp off.
>Lazy bum
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT. Laziness, not necessity, is the mother of invention.

No no no. Breadboards are for doing prototypes. I'm talking about real live use. For example I'm talking about throwing in a resistor, or say an parallel r/c with my computer fan so it will run slower and quieter. There have been many times when I've wanted to do that kind of thing without having to drag out the old soldering iron (where wire-to-wire connections are an extra pain). |
|
| |
Incidentally, apparently it wasn't obvious enough... the connecting part (example: a alligator clamps) are permanently connected to both ends of the resistor. You could do this with capacitors too. |

Just twist the wires together. |

Resistance is a common feature of solderless joints, along with capacitance. Perhaps deliberately poor connections could allow you to just use a bit of wire instead of a resistor? |

Buy a butane soldering iron. They are great for eveyday use, no waiting for heat or fussing with cords. Added bonus: hot air tips for heat-shrinking |

"Resistance is useless: terminate!" |
|
| |
When I first solder,
I knew I couldn't resistor,
Just had to make capacitor...
