    What is a Breadboard?
    Sometimes called a protoboard
    Reusable platform for temporarily built electronic
    circuits

    Why Breadboard?
    It takes less time (and money) to
    breadboard a circuit than to design and
    fabricate a printed circuit board (PCB).
    Because of the cost, a PCB should be
    reserved for the final working design.
    As a complement to circuit simulation,
    breadboarding allows designers to
    observe how, and if, the actual circuit
    functions.

    Why Breadboard?
    Breadboards give designers the ability to
    quickly change components during
    development and testing, such as
    swapping resistors or capacitors of
    different values.
    Breadboards allow designers to easily
    modify a circuit to facilitate measurements
    of voltage, current, or resistance without
    soldering.

    How a Breadboard Works


    Electric component
    leads and wire are
    inserted into holes
    arranged in grid pattern
    on breadboard surface
    Series of internal metal
    strips connect specific
    rows of holes

    Breadboard Connections
    Columns and
    rows connected

    Holes to
    insert wires

    Breadboard: Guidelines and Tips


    Use as few jumper wires as possible.
    Internal breadboard strips should make
    the majority of connections
    Keep jumper wires as short as possible to
    avoid jumbled wires which are difficult to
    troubleshoot

    Good

    Bad

    Breadboard: Guidelines and Tips


    Breadboard circuit closely to layout of the
    schematic circuit to aid troubleshooting
    Use schematic and check off component
    and wires as added to breadboard
    Cut component leads to short lengths to
    avoid contact and shorts
    Have someone check the circuit for errors

    Diode
    Allows current to flow in only one direction
    Negative ( - ) lead

    Schematic Symbol

    Larger metal
    component
    inside of case or
    case flat spot is
    cathode or
    negative (-) lead
    Shorter wire is
    cathode or
    negative (-) lead

    Resistors
    A resistor is an electronic component that
    resists the flow of electrical current.
    A resistor is typically used to control the
    amount of current that is flowing in a
    circuit.
    Resistance is measured in units of ohms
    () and named after George Ohm, whose
    law (Ohms Law) defines the fundamental
    relationship between voltage, current, and
    10
    resistance.

    Determining a Resistors Value


    Color Code
    Resistors are labeled with
    color bands that specify
    the resistors nominal
    value.
    The nominal value is the
    resistors face value.

    Measured Value
    A digital multimeter can
    measure the resistors
    actual resistance value.
