PCB Prototype Board – Vero Board FR-2 – 9×14.5cm (Dotted)

PCB Prototype Board – Vero Board FR-2

A Vero Board (also known as a perforated board) is a popular choice for quickly and easily prototyping electronic circuits without the need for creating custom printed circuit boards (PCBs). The Vero Board FR-2 is made from FR-2, a type of phenolic resin, making it suitable for general-purpose electronic applications.

This type of board provides a straightforward way to build and test circuits, and it is ideal for hobbyists, engineers, students, and anyone involved in electronics projects. It features a matrix of holes, which are used to place and solder components like resistors, capacitors, diodes, and ICs.

Features:
Material: The Vero Board FR-2 is made from phenolic resin (FR-2), which is a cost-effective material that is commonly used for prototyping. It is durable and can withstand moderate temperatures during soldering. However, it is less heat-resistant than some other materials like FR-4.
Pre-Perforated Holes: The board is pre-drilled with evenly spaced holes to allow easy insertion of components. These holes are usually 2.54mm apart, making the board compatible with standard 2.54mm pitch components.
Customizable for Various Circuit Designs: The board can be used for a wide range of circuit designs. You can easily cut the strips and modify the board to suit your needs. This makes it a great choice for quick prototyping and testing of custom circuits.
Easy to Solder: The holes and copper strips are designed to work well with standard soldering techniques. You can easily solder components to the board, creating reliable electrical connections.
Compact and Lightweight: The board is relatively lightweight and compact, making it easy to handle, cut, and modify. It is well-suited for small to medium-sized prototypes.
Versatile for Electronics Projects: Ideal for DIY projects, educational purposes, and product testing, the Vero Board is widely used in prototyping audio circuits, sensors, power supplies, microcontroller projects, and more.
Specifications:
Material: FR-2 (Phenolic Resin).
Hole Pitch: 2.54mm (standard spacing for most components).
Copper Layer: Single-sided copper coating.
Thickness: Typically around 1.6mm.
Mounting Style: Through-hole (for easy component mounting and soldering).
Advantages:
Low Cost: Affordable compared to designing and manufacturing a custom PCB.
Easy Modifications: Quick to cut, break, and adjust the board for various circuits.
No Need for Special Tools: You only need basic soldering equipment and tools to work with the Vero Board.
Widely Available: Available in many online stores and local electronics shops.
Applications:
DIY Electronics Projects: A staple for hobbyists and makers who want to build custom circuits quickly.
Prototyping: Ideal for testing and iterating circuit designs before moving on to a more permanent PCB solution.
Educational Projects: Often used in schools and universities for hands-on learning in electronics.
