Vero Technologies 2 Matrix Board FR4 1 mm Holes, 2.54 mm Pitch, 160 mm 100 mm

This ground plane is solder resist coated and screen printed in yellow, except for the region of the 0V rails which align with the 0 Volt rails on the wiring side for simple through connection.

The 3U (100x160) and 6U (233.4x160) boards are available with plated through holes (pth) as an alternative to the standard types. These boards have the added advantage of linking the top with the bottom pads directly via the holes, thereby dispensing with the need to fit linking pins, etc. Also the integrity of the joint is improved as the solder forms round the component lead on both surfaces, in addition to flowing through the hole. This helps to produce a solid and reliable connection, which is very important in applications where a high degree of vibration may be encountered.

Eurocards are manufactured from either epoxy glass material (blue) to BS4584 Part 3 or 16, or SRBP (synthetic resin bonded paper) material to BS4584 Part 5. Card thickness is 1.6mm. Copper 305g/m2 (1oz/ft2). Holes 1.0mm (0.040in.) dia. are pre-drilled on a 2.54mm matrix and all cards can be used with indirect edge connectors to DIN41612 (see Connectors/Terminals) except SRBP stripboard.
