Breadboard layout vs PCB layout
<< < (3/3)
Kleinstein:
For just quantity 1 and not too high frequency prototype boards with breadboard like stripes can be a good solution. There are strip type boards and with a saw it is reasonably easy to get one separation all across so that the board looks a lot like the breadboard.

Dead bug stype is also OK for a low frequency if the circuit is reasonably simple.  A ground plane can also be used for DC and is probably good enough for most case, except when going to the volt-nut territory. Than a star ground scheme is more appropriate.
Peabody:
They make PC boards already laid out in the same pattern as breadboards.  So you wouldn't actually need to have a board made at all.

I've used these for a number of projects, and they work pretty well.  For a quantity of one or two, they are cheap and quick (just take one off the stack). The only real downside is that the rails aren't quite at the same locations as they are on breadboards, so things like breadboard power supply modules don't quite fit.  And I end up replacing all the Duponts with 22 gauge jumpers cut to fit so the lie flat, which takes a little time.  But I don't have to wait for a shipment from China, and it's pretty easy to change something if needed.
