Product Overview
Vector 3662 Plugbord is an edge-mount circuit prototyping board measuring 4.5 by 6.5 inches with a continuous 0.100-inch grid pattern of 0.042-inch diameter holes. Built on 1/16-inch epoxy glass substrate, it incorporates 44 card-edge fingers spaced on standard 0.156-inch centers for mating directly into enclosure backplanes, card cages, and industrial test fixtures.
Key Features
- Board footprint: 4.50 inches wide by 6.50 inches long
- Substrate thickness: 0.062 inches (1/16 inch) epoxy glass composite
- Grid hole size: 0.042-inch diameter on 0.100-inch by 0.100-inch centers
- Edge connector fingers: 44 total contacts (22 per side) on 0.156-inch pitch
- Fingers labeled 1 through 22 on front, lettered A through Z on reverse
- Dedicated solder pad and through-hole behind each edge card finger
- Includes double-sided layout planning grid sheet
Applications
- Building dedicated analog or digital plugin test fixtures for card-cage frames
- Assembling discrete prototype circuits using wire-wrap pins or point-to-point soldered components
- Creating custom interface and breakout cards for legacy bus architectures utilizing 44-pin 0.156-inch edge sockets
Frequently Asked Questions
What mating edge connector does this board accept?
It mates with standard 44-contact (22 pins per row) edge card connectors with 0.156-inch center-to-center contact spacing, such as Vector R644 series receptacles.
Are the prototype grid holes through-hole plated?
No, the matrix holes across the body of the board are unplated perforated holes. Individual solder pads with access holes are provided directly above the edge finger contacts.
How are the contact fingers indexed?
The primary face contacts are marked numerically 1 through 22, while the opposite side contacts are marked alphabetically A through Z (standard convention omitting G, I, O, and Q).
Nothing lays out a prototype circuit quite like a bare Vectorbord card waiting for wire and solder. Slide it into your test rack and see your build run.
