(Pack of 5)840 Point Bread Board PCB Phenolic 2 1/8×6 5/8 in (55×168 Mm)

Pack of five and semi-usable is it's redeeming quality.The power busses on the top and the bottom are NOT as pictured. The bus does NOT run the full length of the board, but are bussed in groups of five tie points. They must be tied by soldering jumpers, wasting useful holes.As a decades experienced electronics technician, I pulled "standard" DIP I.C. sockets from my inventory, and I had to squeeze the pins very tightly towards each other, because the hole spacing is NOT standard. Once soldered into place, the sockets seemed fine, and there was no evidence of traces lifting as the other reviewer had stated (could that be because of technique?).I recommend these based on the price break, if you're a hobbyist or tech trying to proto a circuit, but wouldn't depend on it for a mission critical final assembly.

Received item is different.

Not very good quality. Traces don't solder very neatly and tear off easily. Also, these boards seem to be much less rigid than a comparable sparkfun board.
