Power cables

I’ve made another batch of cables. These ones are power cables. For connecting my bench power supplies to breadboards.

I made two sets of banana plugs to DC male with inline switches:

And two sets of DC female to jumper pin:

And one set of DC female to DC male with inline switch:

Before I made these cables I figured out that it’s best to install the SPST switch into the positive wire.

My soldering started out pretty bad:

But I got better:

I tested both full sets:

Both green light:

Now I have a DC Power cable drawer:

Multi-meter cables

Made some cables. Male banana plug into male jumper wire. Got some of these and cut them. Made a pair of long ones and two pairs of short ones. This is so I can plug my multi-meters into my breadboards. Gonna do the same thing with some BNC attached coax so I can hook up my scope and with some female DuPont cables so I can plug into male pin headers.
