breadboardbreakoutconnector
One of my components for a prototype lies on a breakout board. The rest are connected on a breadboard.
How can I neatly connect the leads on the breakout board (seven in the picture) to rails/holes on the breadboard? I'd prefer not to solder, since I'd like to reuse the breakout board.
Would simply putting the breakout board on a 1×7 header work?
There's veroboard, perfboard and stripboard.
With these, you can either cut tracks or wire wrap.
Use grabber test clips, which are basically like smaller alligator type clips.
Though regular alligator/crocodile clips may work, depending on the size or how many side by side ones you need. I have some really mini ones.
Yes, the pads should be plated on the inside as well as the top and bottom, electrically connecting them.
No, just pushing a standard 0.1" header into the hole won't work. They are not offset holes, or push fit tight. They are generously loose. Some people have used rubber bands but that's not very secure.

One way that might work is to use clip-on or "grabber" test leads:
You can find these inexpensively on eBay or from electronics suppliers. (I found the image at Circuit Specialists.)
On the breadboard, insert some pin headers or just use some short jumpers to clip the lead to.
Edit:
In response to your edit, putting the PCB on a 1x7 header would work if
