@deprecated_ii@poa.st Sometimes, not two days ago I was trying to tune something below 100pF, and all I had was 100pF capacitors. So I put them into series on the bread board, and it only got lower by piny bits. I'm doing a lot of stuff with induction coils of different shapes and designs, and wire thicknesses. I do put rectifier/capacitor-bank stuff on breadboards. Usually it is just a matter of, the wires from the induction coils wont reach the table, or need to be moved. So, gator clips feel really nature there. Once I get a design finalized, I certainly plan on getting everything good, clean, and compact with terminal blocks and wire crimps. My lament about the gator clips is, I want the capacitor as close to the coil as possible when they are tiny. 3 or 4 wires at a single gator-clips intersection takes, lots of fiddling or multiple clips, which was frustrating when I needed to rapidly change the caps to adjust resonance windows. Now, my research suggests that, I kept having to adjust the caps, because I wasn't using a full-bridge of diodes for a SiC Schottky resonate rectifier. So, I probably wont feel as passionate about it when I have a change to confirm that xD
