My old test rig has run its course and I had this flimsy enclosure kicking around so I ordered up a few speaker terminals and a 3pdt toggle and went to town.
It’s bar none the easiest thing you can cobble together that will also be one of the most useful things on your bench.
All there is to it is wiring up an enclosure just like you would any other project, but instead of connecting your PCB board 9V, GROUND, IN and OUT to a board you wire them to a designated terminal. Now in order to test any board before it gets put in a box you attach the leads from your freshly minted PCB into the terminals and you’re good to go.
I find this incredibly useful as a circuit auditioner as well. And you can narrow down your troubleshooting to just your offboard wiring if something goes wrong after this stage.
