breadboards
Solderless wiring bases
Breadboards are flat boards used for constructing experimental electronic circuits without soldering.
Components and wires push into a grid of holes connected by metal strips underneath, allowing quick assembly and modification: I prototyped the amplifier on a breadboard before designing the PCB.
The name comes from an earlier sense—a wooden board for slicing bread—which hobbyists once used as bases for mounting components.
