The Breadboard: All About Breadboarding

At The Breadboard, we're passionate about electronic experimentation and we believe in the power of hands-on learning.

We're here to help you understand everything there is to know about breadboards, from basic components to complex projects.

A breadboard is an essential tool for anyone interested in electronics. Named for their resemblance to traditional kitchen breadboards, electronic breadboards are devices that allow you to create temporary prototypes and experiment with circuit design.

Breadboards are used for prototyping because they enable you to create and modify circuits without soldering.

You can plug components like resistors, capacitors, and microchips into the breadboard's sockets (also called "tie points") and rearrange them as needed.
