								Beneath the plastic casing, the contact holes are connected to one another

								making a continuous circuit connection

								The contact holes in the middle section, arranged in groups of five and
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								designated by letters
							 |

							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								The terminal strips are not connected accross the ditch thus each of the two
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								strips are electrically separate regions (A-E and F-J).

								The contact holes on the outer edges of the breadboard, designated by numbers
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								(1-30). The chief role of the bus strips is to manage the power to the circuit.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								You will typically use the positive bus strip on one side for the voltage source
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								and the negative bus strip on the other side for the ground outlet.
