# Breadboards
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Contact holes
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Beneath the plastic casing, the contact holes are connected to one another
 | 
						|
making a continuous circuit connection
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Terminal strips
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Bus strips
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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.
