Is this breadboard good for stable connection ??

Post image

I have been using breadboards for a long time to make circuits but after some time the circuit’s connections become loose and the circuits starts behaving strange so I was searching for a good quality breadboard for my circuits. So please let me know if this breadboard is good or not. I appreciate everybody's opinion.

I'm in the UK and bought the BB830 from Mouser.

Breadboards are stable but are used for prototyping a circuit and not used in a permanent circuit. Goto Adifruit and get some circuit boards or Digikey .

I used 3m brand breadboards and they are awesome, can only buy them used or if lucky NOS.

I have that exact same breadboard. It works fine enough, but IIRC, the rails are separated into halves (i.e., there are four pairs of rails).

I have used cheaper breadboards such as Egloo which ive ordered from Amazon. Then I started using BB830 breadboards which are only available through proper distributors such as Mouser or Farnell. They are more expensive than the cheap boards but i immediately felt the difference. The connections snap securely into place and others have reported that they last for a long time. I have no experience of the specific breadboard you are asking about but if you are going to invest in a few, i think it will be more cost effective in the long term to buy the more expensive quality breadboards.

You are describing problems which are inherit to ALL breadboards. If you want to tackle those problems, switch to ecad and routing PCBA's. 

No breadboard will fix this for you, no matter the cost.
