Breadboard

A rectangular plastic board with a bunch of tiny holes in it, solderless construction base used for developing an
electronic circuit and wiring for projects with microcontroller
boards like Arduino or Raspberry Pi, and one of the most fundamental pieces when learning how to build circuits.

tops of the metal rows have little clips that hide under the plastic holes - each metal strip and socket is spaced with a standard pitch of 0.1" (2.54mm), allow you to stick a wire or the leg of a component into the exposed holes on a breadboard, which then hold it in place

are metal strips that are identical to the ones that run horizontally, except they are, typically*, all connected - give you lots of easy access to power wherever you need it in your circuit - labeled with a ‘+’ and a ‘-’ and have a red and blue or black stripe, to indicate the positive and negative side.

Which of these is not a type of power rails?

• Full power rail

• Half power rail

• Split power rail

• No markings power rail

vertical columns of the breadboard

horizontal long rows and they are mostly used to connect the power supply to the breadboard.

Rows - labeled with _____

• numbers

• letters

• symbols

• shapes

Columns - labeled with _____

• numbers

• letters

• symbols

• shapes

in order to minimize the amount of space they take up on the breadboard, they come in what is known as a Dual in-line Package, or DIP ravine for DIP ICs serves a very important purpose many integrated circuits, often referred to as ICs or, simply, chips, are manufactured specifically to fit onto breadboards

Which type of bread board is:

• - commonly used breadboard for prototyping as well as testing electronic circuits without soldering the components
  - circuits on these breadboards are not permanent so we can check & test the functionality of a circuit

• Solderable Breadboards

• Plain Breadboards

• Solderless Breadboards

• Frameless Breadboards
