How It Works

The **7x15 cm Stripboard** is a pre-drilled board used for connecting electronic components via soldering. The copper traces on the board provide electrical connectivity between components, and the holes allow for the easy insertion of component leads. When building a circuit, components are placed over the holes and connected with solder. The copper traces are often cut or modified using a wire cutter to create custom connections between different components, making it an ideal solution for rapid prototyping and testing.

Maintenance Tips

• Store in a dry environment to prevent oxidation of the copper pads.
• Clean the board with isopropyl alcohol to remove any flux residue after soldering.
• Avoid excessive heat during soldering to prevent damage to the copper pads.
• Use fine gauge wire or copper tracks for clean and neat soldering.
• Ensure that the copper pads are intact before using the board for another circuit.
