[ ˈbrɛdˌbɔrdɪd ]

Verb
Context #1 | Verb

electronic prototyping

Breadboarded refers to the process of creating a prototype of an electronic circuit using a breadboard. This technique allows engineers and developers to test and modify their designs without the need for soldering components. It is particularly useful in the early stages of product development, where rapid experimentation is valuable. By breadboarding, one can easily connect various electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, and integrated circuits, allowing for quick alterations and debugging.

Synonyms

experiment, prototype, test

Examples of usage

  • I breadboarded the new circuit design yesterday.
  • After I breadboarded the components, I noticed a short circuit.
  • The team breadboarded several versions of the prototype.
  • He prefers to breadboard before moving to a PCB.

Etymology

The term 'breadboard' originates from the rectangular, flat wooden boards used by bakers to knead and shape bread. In the electronics field, the concept evolved in the mid-20th century when engineers began using these boards for creating simple circuit prototypes. The flexibility of breadboards facilitated the rapid assembly and reconfiguration of circuits, which was especially useful in early electronic experimentation. As technology advanced, specifically in the realms of prototyping and educational tools, the modern breadboard became a standardized platform for assembling electronic components, often consisting of a plastic base with a grid of holes connected by metallic strips. This innovation has significantly contributed to the accessibility and simplicity of electronic design and education, making it a staple for hobbyists and professionals alike.
