  • 1660 Tie-Point Solderless Breadboard Documentation
  • Overview
  • The 1660 tie-point solderless breadboard is a versatile and compact platform for prototyping and building electronic projects. It provides a convenient and reusable way to connect various electronic components without the need for soldering.
  • Pin Structure and Explanation
  • The breadboard consists of 1660 tie-points, divided into rows, columns, and bus strips. The pins are arranged in a specific pattern to facilitate easy connection of components. Here's a detailed explanation of the pins, one by one:
  • Rows and Columns
  • The breadboard is divided into 30 rows, labeled A to E (5 rows per letter), and 55 columns, numbered 1 to 55.
  • Each row has 55 tie-points, and each column has 30 tie-points.
  • Bus Strips
  • The breadboard has four bus strips, two on either side, labeled + (positive) and - (negative).
  • Each bus strip has 25 tie-points, connected in a continuous row.
  • The bus strips are used to distribute power and ground to various parts of the circuit.
  • Tie-Points
  • Each tie-point is a metal contact that can accept a wire or component leg.
  • Tie-points are spaced 2.54 mm (0.1 inches) apart, making it easy to connect components with standard 0.1-inch pitch headers.
  • Pin Connection Structure
  • Here's how to connect pins on the breadboard:
  • Horizontal Connections:
  • + Pins in the same row are connected horizontally.
  • + To connect components in the same row, simply insert the legs into adjacent tie-points.
  • Vertical Connections:
  • + Pins in the same column are not connected vertically.
  • + To connect components in different rows, use jumpers or wires to connect the tie-points.
  • Bus Strip Connections
  • Power Bus (+):
  • + Connect power sources (e.g., batteries, power supplies) to the positive bus strip.
  • + Components that require power can be connected to the power bus using jumpers or wires.
  • Ground Bus (-):
  • + Connect ground points (e.g., negative terminals of power sources) to the negative bus strip.
  • + Components that require a ground connection can be connected to the ground bus using jumpers or wires.
  • Best Practices
  • Use jumpers or wires to connect components across different rows or columns.
  • Keep the breadboard organized by grouping similar components together.
  • Use the bus strips to distribute power and ground to reduce clutter and improve circuit reliability.
  • By following this pin structure and connection guide, you can efficiently build and prototype your electronic projects on the 1660 tie-point solderless breadboard.
