Here's a handy 6cm x 8cm Proto-board PCB that is meant for use with 2mm pitch parts - like maybe an XBee. Both sides have a green silkscreen with some row/column markings. Note that these don't have any traces between the PCB holes; you would normally bend over a thru-hole lead to create connections. They're also good for just plain mechanical work because they are made of strong FR4.
Contains 33 X lines by 26 Y lines totaling 858 holes. There are also four mounting holes so you can attach the PCB to your project box.
Please note: this proto-board is designed with 2mm pitch not the standard 2.54mm / 0.1" pitch you may be used to!
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 2mm pitch
- Pitch is the distance between the centres of neighbouring pins on a connector. A 2mm pitch header is smaller than the common 2.54mm breadboard spacing, so you need matching cables and headers rather than standard breadboard jumper leads.
- 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.
