Many of the early microprocessor computers were sold as either electronic kits or assembled and tested. Some electronic kits were assembled to make complete complex devices such as color television sets, oscilloscopes, high-end audio amplifiers, amateur radio equipment, electric organs, and even computers such as the Heathkit H-8, and the LNW-80. They were once popular as a means to reduce the cost of buying goods, but there is usually no cost saving in buying a kit today. People primarily purchase electronic kits to have fun and learn how things work. They normally come with extended documentation describing which component goes where into the PCB.įor advanced hobby projects, sometimes the kit may only consist of a printed circuit board and assembly instructions, and the purchaser may have to source all the parts independently or, the vendor may provide hard-to-get or pre-programmed parts while expecting the purchaser to obtain the rest of the components.
The first type of kit for constructing a single device normally uses a PCB on which components are soldered.

Professional type prototyping boards, ( breadboards) into which component leads are inserted, following documentation of the "kit".Springs on a card board, the springs trap wire leads, or component leads, such as Philips EE electronic experiment kits.Components mounted in plastic blocks with side contacts, that are held together in a base, e.g.These will include a solderless construction board of some type, such as: Other types used for education demonstrate a range of circuits.
Generally, kits are composed of electronic components, a circuit diagram (schematic), assembly instructions, and often a printed circuit board (PCB) or another type of prototyping board. An electronic kit is a package of electrical components used to build an electronic device.
