Extend and expand your Circuit Playground projects with a bolt on Perma-Proto that lets you connect solderable circuits in a sturdy and reliable fashion. This PCB looks just like a solderless breadboard but has permanently affixed M3 standoffs that act as mechanical and electrical connections. Solder to the gold-plated traces to create your custom invention!
Each pad of the Circuit Playground has a large oval pad you can connect to, and in the center is a blue-marked Ground rail and red-marked 3.3V rail. The center has side-connected groups, they're marked in black on top. Once you're done you can screw on/off the Gizmo as many times as you like.
Comes with a PCB that has pre-soldered standoffs attached, and 12x M3 screws for attachment. Fits both Classic and Express Circuit Playgrounds, but the oval pad markings match the CPX pad naming.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- solderless breadboard
- A reusable board with connected holes for building temporary circuits without soldering. It matters in beginner kits because students can change wiring quickly and safely while learning how components connect.
