Performance Objective: To become familiar with breadboards [60 Minutes]

Apparatus:

1). A Digital Multimeter (DMM)


2). Few hard wires (Gauge number 22)
3). A Breadboard

Theory:

A breadboard also known as a Prototype Board or a Solderless Veroboard is a board for making and
testing temporary electronic circuits so that if any component is connected incorrectly then it can be
corrected. The board consists of several holes (also called sockets) arranged in rows and columns on a
0.1" grid, a typical breadboard is shown below:

Figure 9.1: The Breadboard

1|Page
The number of rows and columns on a breadboard can vary. The breadboard shown in the above figure
consists of two rows of holes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8) both at the top and the bottom, with two sets of 64
columns (A and B) in between. Each column has 5 holes which are connected to each other although
there is no connection between adjacent columns. This is true for the rows too, wherein no two rows are
connected and there is a disconnection between the two parts of each row. Components can simply be
inserted in to the holes for connecting together. Columns or rows can be connected to each other using a
0.6mm copper wire. Usually the two parts of each row are connected together so that they can be used as
power rails.
The figure on the next pages gives a break out of the way holes are connected in a breadboard.

Figure 9.2: Breadboard connections

The connections between holes are accomplished through metal clips like the one shown in figure 9.3:

Figure 9.3: Breadboard metal clip


These metal clips run through the breadboard underneath the hole mouths to connect each of the holes.
The figure below gives a view of how columns are connected.

Procedure: [60 Minutes]

1. Take a Multimeter and set it on the buzzer function (Pg: 03).


2. Take two pieces of wire and strip them off at both ends.
3. Wrap the wires around the probes of the multimeter so that the other end sticks out.
4. Perform the following tests and write down your answer in the table:
i. Pick a column and plug in one of the multimeter probes with wires on them in one of the holes.
Now plug in the wire one by one in the remaining holes of the same column. See if they are
connected or not.
ii. Now having the multimeter probe plugged into the first hole, plug the other probe in the
adjacent column. Check connectivity like before.
iii. Repeat steps (i) and (ii) with other columns.
iv. Now take out both the probes. Insert one of the probes in one of the holes in the rows, plug the
other end in the adjacent holes, and check connectivity. Do this with all the holes in the same row
half.
v. While keeping the first probe in the row hole, plug the other probe in the other half and check
connectivity.
vi. Again keeping the first probe in the row hole, plug the other probe in another row and check
connectivity.
5. Make the following circuit on a breadboard, and check its operation:
