Continuous Breadboard

A continuous breadboard for building and testing a circuit, the breadboard comprises:

• a plate configured to provide mechanical support and electrical continuity for a plurality of electrical component lead ends, the plate comprising a top surface and a bottom surface,
• the plate further comprising a plurality of banks, each bank comprising one column and twelve rows of spaced apart apertures, each aperture defining an electrical contact point, each aperture configured to enable passage of the plurality of electrical component lead ends,
• each bank disposed to abut an adjacent bank,
• wherein the plurality of electrical component lead ends connect the adjacent banks to form a continuous electrical circuit between the adjacent banks,
• at least two of the banks grouped into four sets of banks configured to share a common electrical continuity, the four sets of banks comprising at least a set of four A banks, a set of four B banks, a set of two C banks, and a set of two D banks,
• the four sets of banks disposed to form an alternating arrangement with each other,
• wherein the plurality of electrical component lead ends connect any of the four sets of banks;
• a plurality of conductive strips disposed to align with the at least two columns of spaced apart apertures in each bank, the plurality of conductive strips arranged on the bottom surface of the plate, each conductive strip arranged to be parallel and electrically isolated from an adjacent conductive strip on an adjacent column, the plurality of conductive strips comprising spring clip electrical connectors;
• and
• at least one power strip configured to provide power to the breadboard, the at least one power strip disposed to align along an edge of the bottom surface.
