needs at least some traces
about 3 years ago by JGH verified purchaser
I bought a slew of these for a large project full of small elements. The price and size are great as is the
mounting hole but I am finding them very difficult to use because the traces described are only visible with a
magnifying glass and they don’t seem to connect the 3 holes. Consequently I am having to bridge all
connections which is slow and messy. Maybe mine are dysfunctional? Also 2 power rails that run all the way
through would make this product more useful to me.
Single T replied on March 11, 2015:
Hi, Sorry for the troubles. The connections should be there. We do sell a different protoboard that is not
internally connected. If you do not have any internal traces, we may have made a mistake and sent you
the wrong thing. If you have some internal traces, try setting the board so that the mounting hole is
pointed up and away from you(like the second product picture), then the traces will go up and down and
be connected 3 rows at a time.
Great for tiny projects
about 2 years ago by Member #778245 verified purchaser
I love these things. As with most prototyping boards, the conductive ring pads (I’m not sure what they’re called)
will come off if they’re overheated.
If you’re having a hard time seeing the traces, try putting the board in front of a flashlight or a lamp or
something.
Great price! where's the spec sheet?
about a year ago by Member #544449 verified purchaser
These are a great size and a great value. Came in handy for my current project building IR tachometers. I was
a little surprised that they didn’t come with a spec sheet though as just about every other Sparkfun product has
one.
