Its not *quite* so cut & dried. Although the use of 'breadboard' to refer to soldered prototypes is not a common usage nowadays, you should still explicitly mention 'solderless' (once) to avoid ambiguity if that's the type of breadboarding you are doing. Also although 'perfboard' is commonly used to refer to one pad per hole protoboards, it can also mean bare perfboard, with no copper pads, used to support leaded components for point to point wiring. To avoid ambiguity I would strongly recommend referring to one pad per hole protoboards as matrix board. |

Or you could do it like GreatScott, see around 7:00. Hope this helps... |

Nonetheless, if you say “breadboard”, nowadays we mean the solderless thing. And is it actually, in most situations, all that important to differentiate between perfboard with and without copper pads? |

Gerrybag's protoboard is how mine looked at first. Ataradov's protoboard is how they looked at the end. It's like what happens to many people's handwriting between grade school and college. my 2 cents: Breadboard = solderless Protoboard = holes with copper pads. Perfboard = board with holes but no copper Veroboard = holes with strips of copper. Matrix board = WTF is that? :) I would think it is protoboard with some of the holes connected in a pattern. This isn't personal preference. These are the terms that are most likely to find the thing you want to buy, at least where I live. US. |

US. --- End quote --- There's also a half-way house between the first two - solderable PC breadboard: I've used these mainly because it gets me to a rugged, soldered version of my design quickly. My stuff is <100kHz. I don't have the experience, competence or patience to optimize the circuit layout for a traditional board. Of course, once I've thoroughly tested it in its intended real world application, I'll commit it to something more "proper" :) This is a quadrature demodulator with a +40dB gain 2kHz/30kHz BP input stage built around a quad precision op-amp IC. Basically, it's a $100 lock-in amplifier for a specific application. Even though I use 741s with the IQ outputs, this circuit works better than I could have hoped for allowing me to measure nanoparticle motion with sub-nanometer resolution :) |
