Introduction to breadboard

Prototyping is the process of testing out an idea by creating a preliminary model from which other products can be developed or formed. The breadboard is one of the most fundamental pieces for prototyping electronics circuits. As it does not require any soldering, it is also referred to as a "solderless board".

Structure of a breadboard

Almost all modern breadboards are made up of plastic. A modern breadboard consists of a perforated block of plastic with numerous metal clips under the perforations. The breadboard has strips of metal underneath the board and holes on top of the board. In the following image, you can see the structure of the breadboard:
