Off topic question - Vero boards

Michael Chang
 

Dear group,

Please pardon an off topic question; it's the only place I can think of asking since many of you are designers and may have worked with this.

I've been searching for Vero boards for prototyping without success. Are they no longer available? I believe they are also known as strip boards - Prototype circuit boards with 0.1" center holes in grids, with each horizontal strip connected in a copper trace.

Any information on sources and availability will be gratefully received.

Thank you kindly, Geoff and John.

I feel rather stupid now. Clearly haven't been using the right search terms. :-)

Hi Michael,

Another company selling the idential stuff is Vector Electronic
()s.
It is quite commonly available here in the US from at least these three
parts distrubutors:
Mouser (www.mouser.com), Digikey (www.digikey.com), Jameco (www.jameco.com).

The last time I checked (a few yrs ago), Digikey still sold an S-100 proto-board! For all your computer prototyping needs...

Actually, this is not quite correct. The original poster was asking
about stripboard, which has continous copper strips connecting the
holes. To build circuits, the strips are cut with a special pad
cutter tool (or the home-made equivalent). This product was very
popular in England, but never caught on in the US. Vector doesn't
sell it now, and I don't think they ever did. Maybe it was patented
by Vero.

In the US, it was common to find "pad per hole" boards, where the pad
around each hole is isolated. No cutting is required, but the pads
need to be jumpered together with solder blobs or soldered down
component leads. This is what Vector is known for.

Anyway, here's a mail order source for small stripboards (this page
also shows the difference between stripboard and pad per hole board):
