Your cart is empty.The SB300 Solderable PC BreadBoard enables you to transfer your circuit and wires from a plug-in breadboard without recutting wires or changing your layout. The SB300 has the same pattern and spacing as a standard 300 connection point solderless plug-in breadboard. It has a standard 5-hole strip for each IC pin, just like solderless breadboards. However, it has the advantage that soldered joints provide a more reliable long-term connection than solderless contacts.The SB300 has two power rails along the centerline.

First off, I'm a total noob when it comes to soldering, and this was my first real soldering project. With that said, I didn't have any issues with this board. The pads didn't lift (even when I know I probably held my iron on the board for too long,) and I didn't have problems with filling adjacent holes with solder like some reviewers commented.I used this board to create a GPIO protection system for an Arduino, and the power rails down the center were perfect. I mounted the screw terminals along the top and bottom, hooked up the zener between one side and a power rail, and then placed the resistor above the zener to create a bridge between the sides. Worked perfectly :)If I could change one thing about this board, I wish it had mounting holes on the corners.Other than that, I loved it!

This board is ok but a little small in size. I have since found other boards at better cost at Eddy Wright Hobbies that are easier to use and offer more options at low cost.

Perfect size for little projects. I love the center rails for ground and power, supply to either side of board. DIP chips fit right over the center rails. So far I have not found a better layout at Radio Shack or anywhere else. Drill holes where you want to mount them. Very easy to solder and very sturdy. Have ordered these several times and keep them on hand.

I really like these. They are a lot more expensive than a comparably sized PCB board but the breadboard style pinouts makes is easily worth it.I put an ATMEGA328P chip with an UNO bootloader on these (a DIY Arduino if you will). These are 30 pins wide while the ATMEGA is 14 pins wide, leaving you with 32 lines to work with ((30 - 14) * 2 = 32). I guess a few less than that after you consider the crystal and capacitors. Pretty good for most projects. If that's not enough.. get a bigger one.Some of the comments mention it being difficult to get the solder to flow or the contacts coming off. I personally haven't experienced either of these issues, and I'm mediocre at best as far as soldering goes and I doesn't have a fancy soldering iron. I do use a very fine solder though. I can't recall the size off the top of my head. There is mention of soldering pooling to the next lead though. I have had this happen quite a lot but it doesn't particularly bother me.

I've soldered many, many circuit boards of this type.This one is pretty nice looking, yes, but the traces are a little flimsy and it tends to wick solder from hole to hole ahead of you.Working with a good lens, a stable background, premium fine rosin core tin/lead pcb solder, and a weller 15 watt pencil point iron, it was still a handfull when working with leads that needed some heat to attach (like a 1/2 watt resistor).If what you're doing is complex, it tends to bridge from hole to hole more than I care for.The end result is workable, but the appearance is such that I take no pride in it.Would not buy again.

This is a nice little board for prototypes.I'm building a custom built LED fixture for an aquarium and used this board to assemble my constant current source circuit. It's a small board, as indicated by the description, so best suited to small circuits.The board is single sided, and there is no solder mask on the group of 5 holes in each row. What that means is solder can, and will, flow towards vacant holes if you are not careful. There is solder mask between rows though, so you don't have to worry about it jumping to a different row and causing a short.As described, this protoboard matches up with a standard solderless breadboard with the exception of the center. Instead of a blank space between rows (where you typically have a DIP package straddle) they placed the power rails there. These saves a little space in making the board smaller. But does come at the cost of if you have a lot of DIP packages, they will be blocking most of your power connections.

I have been getting into electronics again after a while and tried this out, vs. the standard proto-board, and I love it. Even though my soldering skills are not the best, I was able to get decent results with this board. It's really awesome if you are going to use ICs like shift registers etc. The fact that the ends don't have power rails make it real simple to use headers to interface with other boards. It has made my life much easier and this compact board will always find a place in my small electronics parts bin.

Pure crap. The circuit layer peels off real easy when desoldering or even in trying to solder correctly after the solder piles over between rows.Would rather spend the extra buck or 2 on a decent quality board fro mRadioshack than buy one of these again.
