Circuits Breadboarding

This document provides an introduction to breadboarding basics. It defines a breadboard as a reusable platform for temporarily building electronic circuits. Breadboards allow circuits to be constructed quickly without soldering, saving both time and money compared to printed circuit boards. The document outlines best practices for breadboarding, such as minimizing jumper wires and laying out circuits similarly to schematics. Students are instructed to watch a video on breadboarding and design series and parallel resistor circuits to test on breadboards. Breadboards are presented as a key tool that allow most circuit prototyping to be done quickly and efficiently.

What is a breadboard?
A breadboard, sometimes called a proto-
board, is a reusable platform for
temporarily built electronic circuits.
How a Breadboard Works

 Electric
component leads are
inserted into holes that are
arranged in a grid pattern on
the surface of the breadboard.
A series of internal metal strips
serve as jumper wires. They
connect specific rows of holes.
Breadboard Connections
Why Breadboard?

 Time, and Money.


 Ittakes less time to push component ends
into holes on a breadboard than to solder.
 Printed circuit boards (PCBs) cost $ and
take time to produce.
 Both PCB and soldered circuits are hard to
correct.

Temporary circuits are usually breadboarded before


doing anything more permanent.
Guidelines and Tips (1)

 Useas few jumper wires as possible. Use the


breadboard to connect components.
 Keep jumper wires as short as possible. A jumble
of wires is hard to troubleshoot, and delicate.
 Make the breadboard circuit layout close to the
layout of the schematic. This will make it easier
to verify.
Guidelines and Tips (2)

 Place IC chips in the middle of the breadboard.


 Workfrom a schematic and check off the
component and wires as they are implemented
on the breadboard.
 Have a classmate check your circuit for errors.
Activity

 Review
 Ohm’s Law
 Resistors in series
 Resistors in parallel
 Design and build the breadboards needed to test
resistors in parallel and series
Breadboards and Simulations

 TinkerCAD has a breadboard component in


their circuit simulator.
 Youcan construct circuits online to
practice your breadboarding skills.
Summary
 Breadboards are a key circuit construction tool.
 Most circuit prototyping is done on breadboards.
 Withpractice, even complicated circuits can be
breadboarded quickly and efficiently.
