Hello Forum...

This a really Beginner question in making circuits ,, so i have this board and i don't know how this work ,, are the compnonents on the same line are already connected or i have to connect them with wires and this is the circuit i need to connect ,,, so any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

The board you have has the same as 24 individual wire that run from left to right in the picture you posted. The components are usually mounted on the opposite side of the board with the leads sticking through the holes, then soldered to the copper strips. If more lines are needed, cutting through the copper foil (insure a complete cut so the two ends don't touch) will isolate sections allowing more component connections. Sometimes, after isolating a section like that, a wire jumper is used to connect it to other lines.

 

thnx but my question are the wires in the square are all connected or i have to connect them with wires or such

 

If you start counting at the bottom, count up 8 positions. You have two components plugged into holes on that strip. After soldering, those two components (bottom lead of each) will be connected. The copper strip is the "wire".

 

does that mean the components are connected ??

 

No. You have the components on the wrong side of the board.

It's called stripboard or veroboard. Google it, and you'll find lots of information like this: http://www.daftmike.com/2010/03/how-to-build-circuit-on-veroboard.html

 

does that mean the components are connected ??

No,
when you solder the "legs/leads" of those components poked through the other way (where you drew a rectangle around) they WILL BE connected.

 

LOL that was stupid of me
i was trying to google this board but i didn't know what to write ,,, Thanks man u really helped me guys

 

i have to connect them with wires or such

 

You can also get some free computer tools helping you to design the stripeboard. Hint I often use a drill bit to cut the tracks. Select a HS drill bit slightly wider than the track. Just turn the drill bit using your fingers

 

You really should mount the components on the side of the board you have shown the solder on. That way, when you do solder the leads (on the side with the foil) your connections will be made. Take a look here for an example that uses a slightly different style of strip board. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stripboard

Also, here is a good tutorial video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv3UBzG0QNg&feature=related

I made many projects on stripboard. The parts and a few jumper wires form a printed circuit board. The soldering is on the copper side.
