equipment you will use in designing
breadboards. It not only saves valu-
able time but also assures that stand-
ard component lead spacing and body
sizes are used. There are several
models and styles available, one of
which is shown in Figure 4.
If you don't use the template, the
amount of space the component takes
up is a matter of educated guesswork.
For example, if you are using a
predrilled breadboard (with the
standard 0.100 inch spacing), you can
lay a selection of components (with
the leads already bent) on the bread-
board and note how many holes are
spanned. For example, a small preci-
sion resistor will span four or five
holes. Larger components naturally
span more holes. If you are using a
solid breadboard without predrilled
holes, you are almost forced into
using the template or using the graph
paper to determine the size of your --1---
components. __ - - _ _ A d _

that #67 bits are the right size for
IC sockets, #65 for %-?4watt resistors
and diodes, and #60 to #55 for larger
leads. If possible, use a Dremel drill
press to be sure the holes are verti-
cally aligned. This method is also
less likely t o break the brittle carbide
bits. The #60 drill will be a little big,
but it will do for most of the compo-

the drill and then ream each hole
with an U8-inch drill to undercut the
copper away from the edge of the
hole t o keep the component lead from
shorting to the ground plane (see
Figure 7). Any holes that are meant
to be grounded can be left as is. You
can solder the lead directly to the
ground plane.
