How is this technology called?
« on: November 24, 2017, 05:25:30 am »
See images. It's like perfboard without copper (0.1" spacing and everything) and you can put "pins" in the holes where you solder the components on. Second image is just an empty piece with no pins installed on top of a breadboard for comparison. Appreciate your help...

Something like "Perforated Bare Phenolic"

The stuff with those extra large holes I think may have been called "peg board" in the old days.

That was the original "Vectorboard" from 60 years ago. Invented by Vector Electronics and Technology. Long before pad-per-hole perfboard and plug-in "breadboard" technology.

You can still buy the little pins and the board, but the newer technology seems far more convenient (and probably cheaper as well.)

We called it "Matrix board" back in the late 1950s/ early '60s

We all understood what he (or she) meant. No need to correct him (or her) on it.  Maybe English is not his first language, despite his flag in profile.

Ug, I hate that stuff. It doesn't cut cleanly - reminds me of peanut brittle.  Give me FR-4 or it's ilk any day.

It is available in several different substrates including FR4 glass fiber.  Agreed that the paper-phenolic stuff was terrible.

yeah, but when going for that old retro feel.....

We always called it perf-board, or vector board.  Still have a half drawer full somewhere.
