Protoboards
Product Description
The Protoboard Micro itself is one of our cutest Protoboard models explicitly designed for very small projects like custom sensors, simple circuits or when space is at a premium. Measuring at just 19mm[L] x 15mm[W] x 1.6mm[H] it is sure to fit in just about any of your smaller cases and is ready to help whereever you need a quick, tiny 5x5 (25 hole) circuit board.
To ease transitioning your projects from breadboard to your new protobooard, the proto's layout mimics the same wiring as a breadboard. This means that the holes in each lettered column are electrically connected to all the other holes in that column, and that column only. The holes 0-4 in column A are connected to each other but not to the other columns, column B's holes are connected to each other but not to the other columns, and so on. Since we retain the breadboards internal wiring layout, your schematic wont require a single change to move to the new protoboard.
With so many protoboards on hand you may forget which one is connected like a breadboard and which ones aren't. These protoboards remove that issue altogether by showing you how all their holes are connected on their surface. If you check out the silkscreen on your protoboard you'll notice that each hole is connected to each other hole in the same column by the black silkscreen, that is showing you the boards internal connections. So you'll never need to worry if you have the right board as you can tell just by looking at it.
Many Protoboard's have extra features where room provides. The Micro has added an additional ground pad that is connected to the internal ground plane of the board as well as the main screw hole(s). The silkscreen diagrams also show you internal connections of the mounting holes and extra pads.
Boards are additionally marked with this small chain-linked bread icon to indicate internal wiring is linked like a bread board. Pretty good right? Almost a dad joke even. Older boards may just contain the image of the linked chain alone.
