Built with 0.042-inch diameter holes spaced on a standard 0.100-inch grid, it accommodates wire-wrap terminals, push-in pins, and discrete electronic components for circuit development and custom hardware fabrication.
Key Features
- 4.50-inch width by 6.50-inch length overall board dimensions
- 0.042-inch diameter hole sizing across the active area
- Standard 0.100 x 0.100 inch center-to-center hole grid spacing
- Solder pads surrounding holes on component side with etched copper margins
- Row index numbering etched along the borders for coordinate tracking
- Unpatterned perforated reverse side with red Vb manufacturer markings
Applications
- Breadboarding analog synthesizer sub-circuits or discrete audio filter stages
- Building dedicated adapter cards and wire-wrapped subassemblies for vintage test equipment
- Assembling one-off prototyping layouts using standard DIP ICs and discrete passive networks
- Fabricating custom break-out boards or bench testing fixtures in an electronics workshop
Frequently Asked Questions
What size components or terminals fit the holes on this board?
The holes are 0.042 inches in diameter on a 0.100-inch grid, designed to accept Vector wire-wrap terminals, T42-1 push-in pins, component leads, and standard pitch socket pins.
Does this board feature pre-routed power buses or an overall ground plane?
This Circbord layout features solder pads around individual holes on the patterned face with edge coordinate markings, leaving circuit layout and interconnect routing entirely to point-to-point wiring or wire-wrapping.
Why purchase this individual vintage Circbord rather than a bulk assortment?
You receive the exact documented board shown, factory-sealed in its original packaging with clean copper pads ready for soldering. Shipping is an $8 flat rate, free once your order passes $28, and orders leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Nothing lays the groundwork for a solid bench build quite like a genuine 1980s Vector board ready for point-to-point wiring. Grab your iron, plan your traces, and bring your next prototype to life.
