Untitled[edit]

The description reminds me of the breadboard, check this

Indeed, there are certain similarities. The breadboard is a reusable thing though, with connections pushed in and held by friction - with veroboard, the board itself is not reusable and the connections are permanently soldered. They get used for similar things, though veroboard is more permanent. I'll mention and link the breadboard article. GRAHAMUK 05:37, 28 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Requested move[edit]

Veroboard → Stripboard – move from brand name to generic title which the article is mainly about (cannot move myself because redirect was not initially created as a proper redirect) Plugwash 19:30, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removing german link[edit]

I removed the german link, becaus it goes to the page "printed circuit" in german. The stripboard is just a part of the printed circuit, and in the english page there is yet the german link for that thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.101.126.222 (talk) 01:52, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pin measurement[edit]

Standard pitch is 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) but what is the standard pin diameter ? 80.169.151.100 (talk) 14:12, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to http://www.verotl.com/veroboard-plug-board the hole diameter is 1.02 mm nominally. Gwideman (talk) 22:13, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the web sites of Farnell and RS (two UK-based electronics suppliers) the most common hole diameter is 1.0 mm. This is shown by the fact that there are substantially more boards with a hole diameter of 1.0 mm than any other size. It's also evident from these two web sites that the standard size (or at least the most popular) for stripboard is 160 mm x 100 mm. 129.215.139.64 (talk) 15:41, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

broken link[edit]

the "Vero Board CAD"-link is broken, leads to a link farm

Trademark revision[edit]

I noted that a small Canadian company is selling "Veroboard" on eBay, and wondered if this was actual UK Veroboard, or just a similar product, thinking that surely use of the actual brand name must indicate UK product. As it turns out, Veroboard is registered as a trademark in the UK (http://www.ipo.gov.uk/domestic?domesticnum=824961), but not in the US as far as I could tell. The Canadian company mentioned has just (2009-2010) applied for use of "Veroboard" in Canada. (http://www.ic.gc.ca/app/opic-cipo/trdmrks/srch/tmSrch.do?lang=eng) So, not the same brand per se, but perhaps availability in North America will now be improved.

do not merge with perfboard[edit]

They are completely different things, used quite differently, and deserve their own article --UltraMagnus^speak 06:17, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Do not take away the perfboard page, that's what most of us grew up calling the stuff. 69.108.2.230 (talk) 04:52, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Do not merge. Not the same thing. --Brouhaha (talk) 20:32, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Arduino??[edit]

How is Arduino relevant to Veroboard? Have they developed "0.1" stripboard" or influenced it in any way? Since almost the entire world production of through-hole components are standardised 0.1" / 100mil pitch, why is Arduino even mentioned at all? 90.217.182.218 (talk) 09:13, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
