Basic Electronic Application: Breadboard

Uses of Breadboards
A breadboard is used to make up temporary circuits for
testing or to try out an idea. No soldering is required so it is
easy to change connections and replace components. Parts
will not be damaged so they will be available to re-use afterwards.

Connections on Breadboards

Breadboards have many tiny sockets
(called 'holes') arranged on a 0.1" grid.
The leads of most components can be
pushed straight into the holes. ICs are
inserted across the central gap with their
notch or dot to the left. Wire links can be
made with single-core plastic-coated wire
of 0.6mm diameter (the standard size).
Stranded wire is not suitable because it
will crumple when pushed into a hole and
it may damage the board if strands break
off.
