Connectors & wiring · 2.54 mm · no strips

Prototype board 24 × 18 holes · 2.54 mm pitch · FR-4, plated through-hole pads on both sides · no strips: holes connect only where you solder · showing the front (component side)

Perfboard on the simulator's bench

Try it on the benchThe lab drops it on an empty bench and opens its datasheet card.

Typical part: Double-sided prototype board, plated through-holes (e.g. 7 × 9 cm, 24 × 30 holes)

Ratings and limits

Pitch2.54 mm (0.1 in)
Padsplated through-hole, tinned, both sides
Connectionsnone: every joint is soldered by you
Pad current≈ 1–2 A per pad; a solder bridge ≈ 10 A; 22 AWG jumper 7 A

How to use it

Put parts in from the front, bend the leads, flip the board and solder. Join neighbouring pads with a solder bridge, short runs with bare tinned wire, longer runs with insulated hook-up wire. Two holes are only connected if you join them.
