Troubleshooting Electronic Circuits: A Guide to Learning Analog Electronics

CHAPTER 2

Basic Breadboards

This chapter will examine various breadboards for constructing circuits. We will cover solderless breadboards, copper clad bare printed circuit boards, and perforated or vector boards.

Let’s first look at solderless breadboards, which can vary in size and quality.

Solderless Breadboards

In Figures 2-1 and 2-2, we see two different types of solderless breadboards. Note that each of them has tabs (e.g., Tab1, Tab2, and Tab3) that allow multiple boards of the same type/size to be expanded.
