1.1 The Experimenting Board
The experimenting board, also called a lab plug board or simply plug board,
permits setting up the experiments without using a soldering gun. It comprises
of contact springs inside that are connected to each other in a row system. The
electronic components and connection wires can be plugged into the contacts
repeatedly and thus permit circuit setup without soldering or screwing. Connection
wires diagonally cut off with a wire cutter can be pushed in most easily.
The plug board enclosed with the learning package has a total of 270 contacts in
the 2.54-mm grid. The 230 contacts in the middle area are connected by vertical
strips in rows of 5 each.
At the edges of the wide side, there is one row each with 20 contact points that are
horizontally connected with a rail. These „upper“ and „lower“ rows are well suitable
as power supply rails.
