Is this a correct way to route amps away from breadboard
$begingroup$
I've recently grown intrested in electronics and robotics so I wanted to move my contraption using servo motor. For this I learned how to use 555 chip to create PWM signal for servo for positioning and I move the servo with a variable resistor.
The servo I have is not powerful enough to move it well and as it's not quite finished either, it will get a little heavier so I seeked out a more powerful servo motor.
I found one at the local shop, but it's rather pricey. I'm sure it will be able to move my contraption with ease, but I'm not comfortable putting three amps through the breadboard (which would happen if the servo stalled).
Would something like this work?
I believe this would route power required by the servo around the breadboard so breadboard would only work with the amps required for controlling the servo motor, for creating PWM.

You are correct, this will avoid passing a heavy current through the breadboard.
Make sure the wires that go from the power supply to the motor are capable of carrying the maximum expected current. Ideally take these wires separately all the way back to the power supply and run another pair of wires from the power supply to the breadboard.
