If you're making your own circuits, you will come across the need for some surface-mount parts to be added to your design. Breadboard Prototyping Systems has made a series of boards that will make your task simpler!

These boards feature a square pad grid for 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, and other SMT parts needing a ground plane.

Features:

• 42mil (that's 0.042") square pads on 50mil spacing for convenient SOIC (50mil pitch) and DIP (100mil pitch) soldering.
• Pad grid fits 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, SOT23
• Solid ground plane on reverse side provides easy ground connections for noise supression.
• Unplated holes to the ground plane are spaced 4 pads apart for easy connection to the ground plane. Just insert a wire and solder both sides.
• Lead free etched copper PCB with an anti- tarnish coating to preserve solderability.
• Bridge pads or solder wires on pads to create traces wherever they are needed.
• 1/32” thin PCB is easy to cut into smaller pieces.
• Standard single height (3U) Eurocard/VME size. Many enclosures and card cages available.

Specifications:

• 160 x 100 x 0.8mm (3.9 x 6.3 x 1/32")
• 128 x 304 pad array
• 32 x 77 array of 0.79mm (0.031") holes for connections to ground plane.
• High quality etched FR4 glass-epoxy circuit board. 1oz/ft² copper.
• Lead free copper PCB with an antitarnish coating for easy soldering. RoHS compliant.
