HOW TO USE BREADBOARD (FOR BEGINNERS)

Hi friends... I hope u all will be gud.Today i am here again with another article.This article is basically for those peoples who just start electronics practically.In this article i will discuss about Breadboard uses.Because it is very necessary if you are going to make your electronic project.Then you must have knowledge about Breadboard.Generally most of the electronic projects starts their life on a breadboard and then on PCBs and all. Go through the article and learn how to use a bread board.

 

INTRODUCTION 

A breadboard also is known as protoboard . It is a type of solderless electronic circuit building .You can build a electronic circuit on a breadboard without any soldering ! Best of all it is reusable. It was designed by Ronald J Portugal of EI Instruments Inc. in 1971. 

 

HOW IT WORKS  

There are a lot of holes in the board to place components and power supply. Actually these holes are arranged in a particular fashion and these are shorted with metal clips present inside the board in this manner.

  

There are basically to type of strips in a breadboard BUS OR HORIZONTAL STRIPS and SOCKET OR VERTICAL STRIPS. Bus strips are generally use to provide power supply and socket strips are used to hold components .

Now i am going to show you with the help of a practical that how we used breadboard..

                                                
                          PROJECT 1- TESTING LED ON BREAD BOARD

In this project we will glow a LED with 9V battery using a breadboard .

Things we need

  * LED
  * resistor 1k
  * 9v battery
     And our breadboard 

 

                                   We will implement this circuit on bread board

  

 

To implement this circuit make bread board connection like this and if connections are fine LED will glow ,If not then check connection once again and check battery also. 

 

                                    

PROJECT2- LED BLINKING PROJECT

 

This time i will do something big , A blinking LED project using NE 555 IC. 

Things we need

  * LED
  * CAPACITOR 10uF
  * RESISTORS 1X 1K, 1X 1OK, 1X 15K
  * NE555 IC
  * 9v battery
     And BREADBOARD 

 

                               
            Actually we will implement this circuit on breadboard

 

                               

                                      
                                     To do it just make breadboard connections like this

 

 

       

If everything is fine LED will start blinking.

So we have learn how to use a breadboard for making electronic circuit. We can implement very huge circuits on breadboard too. So I hope this tutorial was helpful still having any doubt, questions , critical comments leave a comment. In next tutorial I will discuss about some other topics related to basic electronics till then bye
