Anatomy of the Breadboard
A breadboard is a circuit-building platform that allows you to
connect multiple components without using a soldering iron.
CENTERLINE
This line divides
the breadboard
in half, restricting
electricity to one
half or the other.
POWER BUS
Each side of the breadboard has a pair of
vertical connections marked – and +
+ POWER: Each + sign runs power
anywhere in the vertical column.
– GROUND: Each – sign runs to ground
anywhere in the vertical column.
HORIZONTAL ROWS
Each series of 5 sockets marked
a–e and f–j are connected.
Components connected to a row
will be connected to any other
part inserted in the same row.
MAKING A
CONNECTION
Most of the
components in this
kit are breadboard-
friendly and can be
easily installed and
removed.
