PCBs & Breadboards

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) and breadboards are two common types of tools used in electronic circuit development and prototyping. A PCB is a type of board made of a non-conductive material, such as fiberglass or plastic, that is used to mount and interconnect electronic components. PCBs are used to create permanent, professional-grade electronic circuits, and they are typically used in applications where the circuit needs to be small, lightweight, and reliable. A breadboard is a type of prototyping board that is used to quickly and easily test and experiment with electronic circuits. Breadboards have a grid of holes that are connected in a specific pattern, allowing electronic components to be easily inserted and interconnected. Breadboards are typically used for prototyping and experimentation because they are easy to use and do not require soldering. However, breadboard circuits are not permanent and are not suitable for use in applications where the circuit needs to be durable and reliable.
