00:31sides, a solid 1mm thickness, and a flawless 5-star rating from nearly 5,000 buyers.
00:37If you need a compact prototype that you can solder on both layers, this is the bargain you've been
00:42waiting for. Number 4-7x9cm single-sided prototype board. This universal size works great for breadboard
00:51style experiments and quick hacks, with a standard 2.54mm hole spacing that matches most headers.

01:36The variety alone makes it a smart pick if you like to experiment with different
01:40footprints without ordering separate packs. Number 2-20x30cm single-sided prototype PCB.
01:48This large sheet is a playground for bigger projects like LED matrices, power supplies,
01:53or custom breakout boards. At $6.03 you're paying a little more, but you get a massive
02:00200x300mm canvas and a spotless 5-star rating from over 4,500 users.
