Protoboard vs. Breadboard — What's the Difference?

(electronics) A board, having a matrix of small holes to which components may be attached without solder, used for the temporary construction and testing of electrical and electronic circuits

A breadboard, or protoboard, is a construction base for prototyping of electronics. Originally the word referred to a literal bread board, a polished piece of wood used when slicing bread.

A board on which bread is sliced or dough is kneaded.

An experimental model, especially of an electric circuit; a prototype.

A thin, blank, often white board on which a prototype circuit with numerous connections for circuit elements is constructed.

To construct an experimental model of (an electric circuit, for example).

A cutting board, especially for cutting bread.

A pull-out cutting board underneath a counter, found in many kitchens.

(electronics) A device used to build a (usually temporary) prototype of an electronic circuit and for experimenting with circuit designs. Both solder and solderless versions are available; the solderless type are easily reusable.

(transitive) To set up (an electronic device) on a breadboard.

A wooden or plastic board on which dough is kneaded or bread is sliced
