No normal board

I've been having a look on the Radio Spares website (rswww.com) and I can't
seem to find any normal board for soldering components onto like in the old
days - I visited Maplin today and they don't have any either. Does only
strip board exist these days or is it still possible to get the type where
the copper is only around holes and not in strips?

thanks for any replies,

Iceberg

Quite a few of the prototype boards sold with sections round the outside
for specific support devices (PIC's etc.), have sections like this. You
will also find quite a few people doing 'tie point' board, which has small
groups of linked holes (like a compromise between stripboard, and solder
matrix board), which is done to match some of the plug in prototyping
boards:

Twin Industries and Vector still make it. Mouser sell both; see pages 1566
and 1568 of their latest catalog (which you can do online at
http://www.mouser.com). It's expensive, though - you could almost get it
custom-made for you by a PCB fab for cheaper! (There'd be a surcharge for
the large number of holes, though.)

Circuit Specialists also sell a lot of prototyping boards, and the OnePas
boards mentioned in another post are good, but neither are the "one pad per
hole" type you're looking for.

Reichelt <http://www.reichelt.de> in Germany carries them. From their
catalogue:

H25PR150 Euro 1.60 150x100mm
H25PR160 Euro 1.65 160x100mm
H25PR200 Euro 2.05 200x100mm
H25PR500 Euro 5.00 500x100mm

The prices include the German VAT of 16%. They tell you what these
boards
should cost whereever you by them.

Martin.

The Futurlec company sells two different stripboards. Go to
www.futurlec.com and search for stripboard.

The point is he doesn't want 'stripbopard'. Notice 'not in strips'. He

wants the stuff like the prototyping area normally left on the corner of a
development board. Effectively 'matrix' board, but with each hole having a
small pad. Exactly what futurlec show on the left hand side of their USB
development board.

Oops, sorry, I thought 'twas the 'tother way 'round. For those kinds of
boards, I would go to Radio Snack. Futurlec also has one here.

Did you try Mouser (www.mouser.com) ? Their catalog shows some pad-per-hole
pattern in the Vectorboard section.

MPJA has a selection. http://www.mpja.com/
On the left hand side, click on P.C. Boards,
then click on Proto Boards. If the following
link works, it will take you there directly:
