A reusable solderless device used to build a (usually temporary) prototype of an electronic circuit and for experimenting with circuit designs
To assemble preliminary circuits and parts to prove the feasibility of a device, circuit, or system without regard to the final configuration or packaging of the parts
acq Integrated components that provide a representation of a system/subsystem and which can be used to determine concept feasibility and to develop technical data Typically configured for laboratory use to demonstrate the technical principles of immediate interest May resemble final system/subsystem in function only [DoD 5000 2R, 5 Apr 2002]
