What Is a Breadboard?
Breadboards are types of circuit boards that are constructed by hand. Sometimes referred to as a protoboard, the breadboard is often used to create prototypes for new configurations of circuit boards that are intended for general use, or for proprietary use in a specific brand of electronic product. It is not unusual for these prototypes to be assembled without the use of soldering, a factor that has led to boards of this kind being referred to as plugboards or solderless breadboards.
