How large is a current which a breadboard can handle?

Hello All,

I want to test some of power supply and power amplifier designs which use high currents (up to 10A) and I am interested whether a breadboard can handle so large currents?

Thank you.


P.S. I am going to use Wish 502-L breadboard from the family described at http://www.wishmaker.com.tw/cubecat/front/bin/cglist.phtml?Category=8 Unfortunately, they do not provide information on maximum current for their products.

I wouldn't put that much current through a breadboard; you'll likely fry it. I'd keep it to under 2A.

But you can write to them; wishmake (at) ms59.hinet.net
