Overview
The Vector 3662-2 DIP plugboard is a professional-grade prototyping card designed for circuit development and breadboarding applications. This card edge plugboard features non-plated through holes on a standard 0.1″ (2.54mm) grid and is engineered to mate with Vector R644 and R644-3 wire-wrap connectors, making it ideal for prototyping, testing, and developing discrete and integrated circuits.
Key Features
- Card edge non-plated through hole (NPTH) design for compatibility with Vector connectors
