About this item

  • Prototyping: The Proto-Half prototyping board is designed to help transition circuits from a solderless breadboard to a permanent, soldered solution. With a layout that resembles traditional breadboards, it makes the process of finalizing and securing your project for long-term use much more efficient. Ideal for electronics makers, hobbyists, and engineers, the Proto-Half is a reliable board for creating durable and professional-looking circuit prototypes.
  • Configurable: The half-sized Proto-Half prototyping perf board features two positive and two negative power rails, plus a central rail - all independently configurable to suit your project’s specific needs.
  • Packed with Features: The Proto-Half offers 450 tie-points, versatile power options, dual-sided clear silkscreen labeling, four mounting holes (which can be grounded), and robust thick copper traces. Refer to the datasheet for full technical specifications and current ratings.
  • What’s Included: For the BASIC PACKAGE - Each package includes three (3) PTSolns Proto-Half half-sized prototyping perf breadboards plus the deluxe package. Please see the images for a full list of contents. For the DELUXE PACKAGE - Each package includes three (3) PTSolns Proto-Half half-sized prototyping perf breadboards plus the deluxe package. Please see the images for a full list of contents.

    Product Description

    PTSolns Proto-Half prototyping perf board with silkscreen printing on both sides showing dashed white lines for electrical connections, separate ground and negative rails, two power input methods including screw terminal and female power jack, four M3 mounting holes designed for grounding and stacking multiple boards, multiple configurable power rails, and a central rail that can be connected to ground.
    The Proto-Series is a family of solderable prototyping perf boards / breadboards with unique features, such as:
    • Silkscreen printing on both sides. Dashed white lines indicate electrical connection.
    • Separate ground and negative, which can be connected.
    • 2 power-in methods: A) screw terminal, B) female power jack.
    • 4 x M3 mounting holes: A) able to be separately grounded, B) able to stack multiple boards.
    • Multiple power rails, which can be connected in various configurations.
    • Central rail, which can be connected to ground.
      The Proto-Series prototyping boards can be used in a range of applications, including:
      • Prototyping your own circuit. Your circuit design from breadboard to protoboard.
      • Interfacing microcontroller development boards (such as the Nano, or the ESP32)
      • Data logging and other sensor data gathering
      • Educational
      • ... Tinkering!
        The Proto-Full, Proto-Half and all of the PTSolns products come with full datasheets and other supporting materials such as 3D models, Fritzing models, schematics, tutorials, and much more. All of these are freely available on our "PTSolns Documentation Repository".

        Features of the Proto-Half

        PTSolns Proto-Half prototyping board with silkscreened connection lines, multiple configurable power rails, screw terminal and power jack inputs, separate ground and negative rails, and four mounting holes for grounding or stacking.

        The following are highlights of the Proto-Half. For full details please see the datasheet which can be found in our "PTSolns Documentation Repository".

        • Two power-in methods: A) screw terminal, B) female power jack. 
        • Positive/negative power rails (2 each) and central rail are disconnected by default. Various configurations can be realized by soldering across the respective 2-pin jumpers.
        • Canadian designed.
        • Ground and negative terminals are treated separately, and by default are not enabled. The user has the options to:
          • Connect the central rail to ground (via 2-pin jumper)
          • Access the ground-out pin
          • Connect the ground to the negative (via 2-pin jumper)
        • Silkscreen printing on both sides.
        • Electrical connections are shown by dashed white silkscreen printed lines. The layout of the Proto-Half is similar to the traditional breadboard. That is, rows of five are connected, as well as long sections of power rails.
        • Four mounting holes can be separately grounded (see second image for grounding options). Mounting holes can also be used to stack multiple boards.
        • Lead-free surface finish RoHS.

                Endless Applications

                Example application of Proto-Series boards showing rapid prototyping from breadboard to permanent protoboard. Demonstrates easy interfacing with microcontrollers like Nano and Pico, plus sensor modules using screw terminals and headers.

                Rapid Prototyping

                Realize your circuit design and make it quickly using the Proto-Full and Proto-Half prototyping boards. With the configuration options the user can utilize the rails and power input as best fit their design requirements.

                From Breadboard to Protoboard

                Move your project from a temporary breadboard over to a permanent installation on a prototyping perf board. The Proto-Series boards make this easy and efficient.

                Interface with Modules

                The Proto-Series is versatile and can easily interface with microcontroller development boards such as the Nano, Pico, etc. Interface sensor modules via screw terminals or headers quickly.

                Very good quality

                This item is great to work with and feels very sturdy. Works great as the panel interface with the model railroad. I also used PTS terminal blocks with the proto board

                over the top professional and well thought out

                Proud to buy Canadian and now even more proud. These prototyping boards were seriously over the top in professionalism and were so well thought out. Complete with instruction sheet explaining not only the features, but what they did -and did not- connect. This makes it easy to customize your circuit as it's easier to add connections than to cut them out. I only got the half proto board but the full has I2C pads and all versions have solder pads for things like barrel jacks for power. Very smartly designed to maximize the variety of circuits you could build with it.

                Will buy again

                Excellent product, well designed and built.
                The company was responsive to my (noob) questions.
                And they are Canadian.

                Will definitely buy from them again.
