About this kit
The OpAmp Experimentation Kit is the hands-on way to learn operational amplifiers. Instead of a fixed circuit, you get eight individual PCBs — two breakaway panels of four — each one a clean template for building any op-amp circuit you can design. The kit includes LM358 dual op-amps and LM321 single op-amps along with a starter pack of resistors and capacitors to get you experimenting immediately.
Build comparators, inverting and non-inverting amplifiers, integrators, filters, oscillators — the open PCB layout gets out of the way and lets you focus entirely on the analog electronics.
What you'll learn
- How operational amplifiers work — gain, virtual ground, feedback, and output swing
- Comparator circuits — comparing two voltages and switching an output
- Inverting and non-inverting amplifier configurations
- Integrators and differentiators — analog computation using op-amps
- Active low-pass and high-pass filter design
- Oscillator topologies — Wien-bridge and other self-sustaining circuits
- How to design from a circuit schematic to a working PCB
- How to iterate and experiment by building multiple circuits on separate boards

FAQ
Can I reuse the PCBs?
Yes. The open layout is designed for repeated experimentation — unsolder the components, clean the pads, and build a new circuit on the same board.
Do I need a specific power supply?
The LM358 and LM321 work with a dual-rail supply (±5V to ±15V) or single-supply (3V to 32V). A ±12V bench supply is a common choice.
Is this suitable for beginners?
Basic circuit theory and Ohm's Law are required. If you're new to electronics, the Fundamental Skills Bundle is a better starting point.
