As many times as I've used breadboards, I wondered where the name came from. Thanks for sharing this! Wikipedia seems to agree and has a few example images.

- HeyLaughingBoy 7y agoYup. That's why they're really called "solderless breadboards" although most people drop the "solderless" part. When I was about 12 or so I had an electrical kit that used screws with caps to connect the wires and components. I don't remember what the substrate was, but it could very well have been wood.
