PCB Prototype Board – Vero Board FR-2 (Dotted & Line & Center Splitted & Breadboard)

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.
