# 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.
