Busboard Protot BR1 Solder able PC Breadboard 1 Sided PCB Matches 830 Tie Point Breadboard with Power Rails

i was a bit upset about the price (before radio shack went down they had a similar board for much cheaper). it's worth the $6.50 but another $6 in shipping was pretty absurd. Nonetheless i had no other choice, and i'm very pleased with the quality of this board. it is better than radio shacks board, though i could get three for the same price last year and also didn't have to wait for them to get here.over all a very good product. i took away a star for the shipping price and the amount of time it took them to actually ship it.ordered on July 27th, shipped on August 1st, arrived August 3rd (August 2nd being Sunday). which means it could have been here the day after i ordered it if they shipped it on time.

Great product, I've used it for a few different projects (mostly audio circuits) but it'll work with any small components. The standard widths between holes match breadboards so things like potentiometers and buttons fit perfectly. I do wish they would list the number of rows somewhere on the board like a breadboard does, it would make the building process a little bit easier. Counting on the picture, there are 61 standard rows with two additional rows on each end that have extra contacts. Overall its the perfect thing for small DIY projects, a much better alternative to mapping out your own PCB or sketching your own traces.

Both this one and it's little sister, the SB400, are my all-time favorites for making that solderless breadboard project permanent. More buses means you will have enough for not only 5 or 3.3 volt feeds, but also power busses for analog circuitry... or the ever needed reset line. Copper thickness is good, yet can be cut with a rotary cutter when needed. I really appreciate that the pads are NOT plated through holes, making unexpected corrections much easier. Pre-drilled mounting holes saves another step on the way to the finished project. If you are still laboring over single hole patterns, or stripboard, here is the product to get you to the modern era... and save considerable time in the process. Just wish I could buy in 5 packs.

Sip headers Dip headers 1X & 2X .1" pin headers 6 power/signal rails and real FR4. Not that smelly brown CN bakelite. More versatile than the Solderable "830" point breadboards. about the ONLY minus is that the board is single sided non PTH but for small projects especially those that require 'modules' like GPS or nRF24XX radios. Most nRF24 series radios have 2 rows of 5 pins on .1 ctr's... this board accommodates them well. As a point of fact it is the only one that is easy to use, 2 holes/pin Not some jumpered nightmare. Easily the Best I've seen in 40 years of prototyping electronics stuff. I'm retired now but when working I had boards similar to this MFR'd for my prototype work but mine weren't as versatile.It says at the Bottom "Built for Designers" I concur wholeheartedly

Seems to work fine, but I wish the long stripes were more shaped like 8's than in long straight bars. The problem with how it's set up is that if you have a little bit too much solder, it wicks down the row easily and you end up soldering extra holes shut. Also, it would be nice to have two more mounting holes in the middle of the board, because it's kind of flexy as it is.Overall though, it's a good board and pretty easy to work with.

This PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is very convenient for hobbyists and prototype developers as the layout matches a standard breadboard, such as  BB830 Solderless Plug-in BreadBoard, 830 tie-points, 4 power rails, 6.5 x 2.2 x 0.3in (165 x 55 x 9mm) .The PCB can actually be laid over the Breadboard (copper side down) and then be gently lifted off (once all of the components have been placed and the circuit tested) to keep all of component leads and jumpers in their proper places. Bending the wires poking through will help keep them in place when you flip the board over so the leads can be clipped and soldered into place.Highly RecommendedCFH

A fiberglas board substrate is uncommon quality these days, and this one comes with a standardized printed wiring, and pre-driled for through-hole components. (Drilling through fiberglas rapidly wears out drill bits, too.) The perfboard is laid out for a linear series of DIP IC's, with plenty of room for lateral mounted RCs and TO-92 transistors. And for my current projects the size is perfect for the six DIP IC circuits I design and build for my hobby electroherbalism research experiments that are entertaining and health-enhancing for me. Was really nice to find this available; is appreciated.

great for transferring from a breadboard to real PCB, build your circuit on a breadboard then debug, then make it look nice, then transfer to these boards and done. way easier than making a PCB.
