Cheap SB300 Solderable PC BreadBoard, 1 Sided PCB, matches 300 tie-point

Customer Ratings:

If you have prototyped your circuit on a half size breadboard (3"), then you can transfer it over to this single sided PC board with very little trouble. You'll notice from the photograph that the normal power rails on the sides are missing. These clever people have used the unused space in the middle of the board to run the power rails. This makes the PCB 0.70 inches narrower than the standard board with out loosing any functionality.

I really appreciate the thought they have put into this simple product.

This board is ok but a little small in size. I have since found other boards at better cost at Eddy Wright Hobbies that are easier to use and offer more options at low cost.

I have been getting into electronics again after a while and tried this out, vs. the standard proto-board, and I love it. Even though my soldering skills are not the best, I was able to get decent results with this board. It's really awesome if you are going to use ICs like shift registers etc. The fact that the ends don't have power rails make it real simple to use headers to interface with other boards. It has made my life much easier and this compact board will always find a place in my small electronics parts bin.

Honest reviews on SB300 Solderable PC BreadBoard, 1 Sided PCB, matches 300 tie-point

I've soldered many, many circuit boards of this type.

This one is pretty nice looking, yes, but the traces are a little flimsy and it tends to wick solder from hole to hole ahead of you.

Working with a good lens, a stable background, premium fine rosin core tin/lead pcb solder, and a weller 15 watt pencil point iron, it was still a handfull when working with leads that needed some heat to attach (like a 1/2 watt resistor).

If what you're doing is complex, it tends to bridge from hole to hole more than I care for.

The end result is workable, but the appearance is such that I take no pride in it.

Would not buy again.

I really like these. They are a lot more expensive than a comparably sized PCB board but the breadboard style pinouts makes is easily worth it.

I put an ATMEGA328P chip with an UNO bootloader on these (a DIY Arduino if you will). These are 30 pins wide while the ATMEGA is 14 pins wide, leaving you with 32 lines to work with ((30 14) * 2 = 32). I guess a few less than that after you consider the crystal and capacitors. Pretty good for most projects. If that's not enough.. get a bigger one.

Some of the comments mention it being difficult to get the solder to flow or the contacts coming off. I personally haven't experienced either of these issues, and I'm mediocre at best as far as soldering goes and I doesn't have a fancy soldering iron. I do use a very fine solder though. I can't recall the size off the top of my head. There is mention of soldering pooling to the next lead though. I have had this happen quite a lot but it doesn't particularly bother me.
