Rob’s Strip Board

There’s few things in the world Rob Rosen dislikes more than your average strip board, vero board, or other prototyping boards. The reason is that those products don’t usually allow enough connections per net, require too much kludging, never have enough space for connectors, and because they’re not through hole plated, the connections break off the bottom too easily.  So, Rob made his own strip board design to right the wrongs of strip boards of the past.  Rob’s strip board is designed to use your average DIP style integrated circuits. Each pin of the IC then has 4 vertical connection points. On the top of the strip board is space for 3 connectors as described below: The left most connector is power, with connections for 2 voltages and ground. These are pre routed to 78 and 79 series fixed regulator foot prints as well as bypass capacitor. If on board regulation is not required, simply jump the input to the output as denoted by white lines in the regulator footprint. The output of the
