When the bread board is new, initially it can be difficult to stick in the
pieces and wire jumpers. It helps to prepare the contacts with a thin needle,
which should not be thicker then 0,3
–
0,6 mm, otherwise the contact spring
wears out to an extend that the contacts to the wire connection might suffer.
Fig.3.06: carefully widen the
contact with a needle
All parts can be stuck in directly without soldering. It needs some practice,
so that the connection wires do not bend over. Hold the wire right at its end
and stick it vertically with a little bit of pressure into the contact. The use of
flat pliers can be helpful.
Cutting the end of the wire diagonally with a side cutter is also supportive.
Short wires
–
like you find at the LEDs
–
you stick in with flat piers or a
pincer, so they do not bend over. One can cut some jumpers with a diameter
of 0,6 mm out of the jumper wire.
Measure the approximately length of the jumper and add the length of the
ends, which will stick in the contacts. Remove the cable insulation at the
ends. Either you use a wire stripper or cut around the wire with a knife and
remove the insulation.
The bread board can be fixed on a surface, f. ex. a well proportioned
prepared piece of wood. The back side of the bread board has an adhesive
foil. Take of the protection paper and glue it now onto a plain and dust-free
surface.
Attention: Once you glued the bread board onto a surface it is difficult to
remove without damaging it.
