Customers have asked us to carry basic perf-board, but we never liked the look of

most basic perf: its always crummy quality, with pads that flake off and no labeling.

Then we thought about how people actually prototype - usually starting with a

solderless breadboard and then transferring the parts to a more permanent PCB.

That's when we realized what people would really like is a proto board that makes

it easy!

This proto-board is the PCB you always wish you had, but never realized it! We

took the basic layout of a quarter-sized breadboard (basically, a 'tiny' breadboard

plus power rails) and turned that into a beautiful PCB. The top side has a white

silkscreen, and the same markings you're familiar with, to make transferring

components easy. The bottom has the 5-hole pad design that matches a classic

breadboard, with 4 power bus lines on the sides, and no mask so you can easily cut

traces when necessary. We used 1.2mm diameter drill holes so even parts with big

leads will fit. All holes are thru-plated for strength - these wont peel off with

rework. The finish is a gold plate - you won't get oxidation like with bare copper

perf! There are also two mounting holes so you can attach the PCB to your project

box.

These are so handy, we decided to put them in a pack of 3. Once you use a Perma-

Proto board, you'll never go back!
