Also known as breadboards or proto-boards, these boards have 0.042” dia. holes with solder pads or strips. Made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic, they’re grade G-10/FR4 and meet UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance.

Board with solder pad allows you to make connections on one side of the board.

Boards with through-hole solder pad allow you to make connections on both sides of the board. Through-hole pads are also known as vias.

Board with solder strips creates a continuous circuit along each strip.

Board with numbered and lettered holes makes it easy to organize your connections.

Drill holes of any size and etch your own circuit board design into copper-clad boards. All are grade G-10/FR4 and meet UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance. Use carbide tooling to drill holes.

Good for rapid prototyping, this board comes with a variety of input and output connections already installed so you can control individual devices or complex systems. Use the Ethernet RJ45 socket or RTC with power header to connect board to a power supply. To download software and program the board, connect to a computer with the USB Type Micro-B socket.

Often used for rapid prototyping of electronic systems, these boards have various inputs and outputs to monitor sensors and control actuators. They’re smaller than other development boards, so they save space in your setup—while still having the same basic functions. Solder components directly to these boards for permanent or long-term installations. Attach headers for quick connections as you prototype. The operating voltage should support the other devices you’re configuring and connecting them to.

To program, attach a header to the board and connect the programming module (each sold separately). Connect the module to your computer using a USB cord (sold separately) and transfer your code. Once the board has been programmed, the module can be removed.

Program mini development boards and other custom circuit boards with these modules. To program your board, attach the module and connect it to your computer using a USB cord (sold separately). Then transfer the code from your computer to the development board. Once the board has been programmed, the module can be removed. Choose an operating voltage that supports the board you’re programming.

Use these headers to make quick, temporary connections to development boards and other circuit boards when prototyping. Solder the termination contacts directly to your board, and use the mating contacts to transmit power and send signals to your equipment.

Choose male headers if you need to plug your board into something else, such as a separate circuit board or breadboard. Choose female headers if you need to plug something into your board, such as circuit board wires or other accessories.

90° angle headers fit snugly against circuit boards, creating a low-profile connection in tight spaces.

Use these components in coordinate measuring machine (CMM) applications to raise a workpiece and reliably position it on a fixture plate with 1/4"-20 holes. They are not for use in machining applications.
