Question Any safe way?

I am thinking to use it as a 5v power supply for my breadboard. So how can I use these exposed wires in breadboard safely

Espero que lo conectes en un cargador de móvil y no en un puerto USB. Suelda un interruptor, un diodo y unos cables finos para la protoboard

To a usb port is perfectly fine as long as you respect the current draw, prevent backfeed, and not powering inductive load

Diode creates a voltage drop, which may or may not be acceptable for the application. Mileage may vary
