That is a kind of merchandise I might have shortly scrolled previous however these Snappable V-Groove Protoboards occurred to seize my consideration as I had simply break up up some V-grooved panelized PCBs. Some PCB producers go for small tabs with perforated holes whereas others go for V grooves. In the event you’ve ever snapped a V-grooved board I’m certain you discovered it satisfying giving a really clear edge.

I additionally think about should you’ve been tinkering with electronics for a when you in all probability have each a set of breadboards and a set of protoboards. Protoboards are available all shapes, sizes and layouts. The Snappable V-Groove Protoboards, when full, have an array of 32 by 36 by holes. The V-grooving splits this into 4 by 4 gap sections providing you with probably 72 tiny little boards.

The by holes are spaced on the basic 2.54mm pitch so they’re appropriate with most through-hole ICs. Every gap’s copper pads are unconnected on each side, relatively than any teams of holes being related. This provides flexibility in circuit format and you can also make connections both with element leads or jumper wires.

As I write, I realise that they remind me of an outdated set of very small modular breadboards I purchased cheaply years in the past and made a laser-cut backing board for. Significantly when prototyping with electronics and mechanical elements in the identical venture these little boards have had extra use than I imagined. I can see that if I had had the Snappable V-Groove Protoboards, I’d have moved fairly a couple of odd format tasks from breadboards to those boards as a everlasting residence.

Whereas maybe not the wildest product ever seen these positively fall into my “seize some as they’ll be actually helpful someday” folder!
