BASIC ELECTRONICS TUTORIAL2 - HOW TO USE BREADBOARD (FOR BEGINNERS)

Hii.. friends…!!  I am here again with another article on basic electronics. This article is  for those who are just starting with practical  electronics . in this article  we are going to discuss about BREADBOARD uses. If you are going to make your electronic projects 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 bread board 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 . 

                      Clips made of of Nickel Silver hold the  components.      

PROJECT 1- TESTING LED ON BREAD BOARD

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

Things we need

1LED

1 resistor 1k

1 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 we will something big , A blinking LED project using NE 555 IC.

Things we need

1 LED

1 CAPACITOR 10uF

RESISTORS 1X 1K, 1X 1OK, 1X 15K

NE555 IC

1 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 learnt 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 we will discuss about some other topics related to basic electronics till then bye…..:)
