A solderless breadboard is used for making prototypes of electrical circuits ( Breadboard ). A traditional solderless breadboard was designed for prototyping with narrow integrated circuits (ICs). Wider ICs electronic devices, however, are not able to fit into the FIXED WIDTH of the standard solderless breadboard while, at the same time, leaving any room to access the pin holes on either side of that device (which is the reason for having a breadboard in the first place).

One solution to this problem is to physically divide the breadboard down the middle, along the long axis of the board. Then, by moving the two resulting halves as far apart as needed, ANY electronic device - no matter how wide - can fit onto the (now split) board with plenty of the pin holes exposed on either side of the device.

One way of dividing a plastic solderless breadboard is with a hacksaw.
