0 How to use a Solderless Bread Board

As the name implies, a solderless breadboard doesn’t require any soldering. Wires and components are simply pushed into holes on the board to connect them together. No mess; no fuss. You can us the holes, wires, and components over and over again.Technically, the holes in a breadboard are called tie points. When a wire is pushed into a hole, it makes contact with a solid metal strip underneath. When another wire is pushed into a hole on the same strip, the wires are connected. The metal strip acts as a connecting pipe that allows electricity to flow from one wire to the other.

Various Features are:

5-Position Group

5 Position Group

Centre Gap

Most of the holes on the breadboard are physically connected in groups of five. Any and all wires pushed into the five holes are electrically connected to each other.However, if you want to, you can connect 5-position groups together. Simply push each end of a single wire into a hole in each group. This wire is now connecting together the two metal strips underneath. Anything connected to one strip is now also connected to the other.
Centre Gap
There’s a gap in the center of the board. A wire in one 5-position group is not connected to a wire in a 5-position group across the gap.
25 Position Distribution Bus
The two horizontal rows of holes at the top and bottom of the breadboard are called distribution buses. Although they appear to be horizontal groups of five, they are actually connected underneath to a metal strip that is much longer, 25 holes.There’s a good reason why there are two rows of distribution buses at both the top and bottom of the board: Many parts in the circuit need nearby access to power. You can connect one of the bus rows to the positive end of the battery and the other bus row to the negative end of the battery. Now all the parts have convenient power access.
