1. Bread-board Trainer for Building Circuits


Fig. 1 shows a diagram of an A- TEK laboratory "trainer", on which you will construct Circuits
(and which you will use in many other laboratory classes throughout the electrical engineering
course). The most important part of the trainer is the central "bread-board" section, which
consists of white, insulating plastic, with rows of small holes, indicated diagrammatically by the
dotted lines. Inside each hole there is a connector, which makes good electrical contact with any
lead that is pushed into it. Note that the direction of the dotted lines in the diagram indicates
permanent, internal electrical connection between the holes. Thus, the sets of five holes in the
broad strips are connected together vertically, while the two rows in the top, middle and bottom
sections are connected horizontally (but note the gaps in the middle).

The trainer has a built-in power supply, for +5 V, +12 V, and -12 V and a number of other
features designed for digital work (ignore these in this experiment). None of these features is
connected to the bread-board internally, so, unless you connect external wires to them, they will
have no effect on your test circuits.
