What is breadboard?
A breadboard is a solderless device for
temporary prototype with electronics and test designs. A breadboard is widely
used tool to design and test designs.
A breadboard with holes
that allow circuits, wires, and others components to be interconnected without
soldering. The breadboard has many holes into which circuit components like
ICs, resistors and can be inserted. You can see that how to you insert
components in breadboard?
The
top and bottom rows of holes are connected horizontally and split in the middle
while the remaining holes are connected vertically. A typical breadboard layout
consists of two types of region also called strips.
Bus
strips are usually used to provide power Supply to the circuit. It consists of
two columns, one for power voltage and other for ground.Socket strips are used to hold most of the components in a
circuit. Generally consists of two sections each with 5 rows and 64 columns.
Every column is electrically connected from inside.
Note how all holes in the selected row ( rows highlight from pink color ) are
connected together, so the holes in the selected column ( columns highlight from blue color ) . The set of connected
holes can be called node:
- Bus Strip
- Socket Strip
To interconnect the selected
row (node A) and column (node B) a cable going from any hole in the row to any
hole in the column is needed:
Now the selected column
(node B) and row (node A) are interconnected:
