Review on πŸͺ ElectroCookie Snappable PCB: Gold-Plated Strip Board for Arduino DIY Soldering Projects (2 Pack, Blue) by Carlos Massey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for an Arduino project. Much easier than perfboard

Bought for an Arduino project using WEMOS D1 mini. I've used a decent pinboard with a Wemos footprint in the past and it was a lot easier to route and wire. With at least 2-3 pads per node, inserting wires, resistors, and chips is much easier than on a single-pad perforated board. I also had to add some small terminal blocks, which on a perforated board meant drilling holes and wiring the posts. Such a pain! Good quality clean boards also helped the solder pin. I only used a quarter of a board but it came off cleanly and I like being able to use a quarter, half or a whole board. The layout of the board itself shows a good understanding of what is required. Don't just duplicate identical rows of holes.

Pros
  • Gold plating to prevent oxidation and plated through all holes for mounting strength
Cons
  • Expensive
