Veroboard templates

If you’re a veroboard layout designer you’ve probably used graph paper to come up with your stripboard planning sheet. I’ve included some stripboard templates that you can download and print off instead.

You can check out my page on Veroboard and Stripboard resources, tools and stuff here.

If you have even the slightest interest in things stripboard related then check out my post Stripboards – the complete guide. I’m sure you’ll pick up at least one tip to either save you time or money!

Stripboard planning sheet

The first one is a pretty standard stripboard design. It’s one that I have used many times and you can just use part of it obviously for smaller circuits. I tend to start in the middle, if there are any unexpected expansions you will have some spare space, then when you’ve finished you can see what size board you’ll need.

There are different types of stripboard available. I have an article here that you may want to read before you start designing your circuit. Some of the newer types of stripboard are more suited than the older traditional kind, especially the ones with power lines.

The next one is a veroboard template that you may find useful if you are transferring a breadboard design to a veroboard as it is a template of a standard breadboard. You can almost just move a component over, one at a time.

One of the problems I found with the normal veroboard is that when mounting lots of ICs there is a lot of track cutting. That’s when I found the board below. It’s got a cut all the way down the middle so is ideal for designs with multiple ICs. You can readily get these veroboards and I’ve included a link from amazon.

I’m quite a fan of veroboards. You can read why I like them here. The more I got into them the more complex designs I found and realised they would make some of my more complex designs easier. As you can see the board below is ideal for larger designs where lots or ICs are needed. It also has lines running up and down that are ideal for power rails.

If you are looking for more help on using Veroboard I have a number of other articles that may help you.

“How to use Veroboard”, is an introduction, going through to specific techniques such as “How to cut Veroboard” including my preferred, guaranteed to cut it square way and “How to cut Veroboard tracks”.

Once you get into more complex Veroboard circuit design you may find it difficult using paper printouts. If you’re considering software options to help in designing you can read about that here. There are various options available starting from the beginner up to the expert.
