At this point, many of us have gone all-in on USB-C. It’s gotten to the point that when you occasionally run across a gadget that doesn’t support being powered USB-C, the whole experien…
I know perfectly well what breadboards are. I even remember the Continental Specialties brand. They have power supply strips, like the ones on the edges in this pic. You connect power there.
Tbf, these are slightly different things, the one in the OP hooks up to the standard power “rails” on a breadboard. You don’t need to buy a special one with markings specific to a pi or Arduino (or just learn the pin outs). OP’s also has the benefit of not taking up half a breadboard like your example.
Not saying more similar things don’t exist, but for the example you’ve given I think there’s significant enough differences for them to have distinct use cases.
Agree with what another comment said though in that it would be good to select for higher voltage than 5V.

This device literally does exactly this, coming from a USB C connector.
This just isn’t general interest technology news, especially since it’s for a vaporware (crowdfunding) product. Might be ok on /arduino or something.
Here’s USB PD to 12 volts (other voltages available too), just wire it to the breadboard:
