Perfboard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perfboard is a base for prototyping circuit boards. It has holes pre-drilled at set intervals across a grid. Perfboard can be used for wire wrap prototypes and for solder prototypes. Copper or another metal can be plated onto the substrate in pre-arranged patterns. Discrete components are attached to the prototype board such as resistors, capacitors, and integrated circuits. The substrate is typically made of fiberglass or phenol-based resins.
To use Perfboard you would solder on the bottom of the board and scrape away the copper where you do not want connections. (see photos below)
