Frequently Asked Questions
What is the RRB-016 Oktapad® SMT Prototyping Eurocard?
▶
The RRB-016 is a single-height (3U), double-sided Octapad-format Eurocard (100 × 160 mm) designed for hand wiring surface-mount devices (SMDs) and conventional components.
How does the Oktapad® and SMT format integrate?
▶
The board combines SMT footprints on both sides with a standard 2.54 × 2.54 mm stripboard matrix, allowing SMD leads to fan out to larger solder pads while retaining conventional wiring holes.
What prototyping features does the board offer?
▶
Features include popular SMD footprints, silk-screened component references, a colander-style ground plane, piggy‑back board provisions (4 mounting holes), and grid references for precise placement.
What are the hole matrix and connector provisions?
▶
It uses a 1.02 mm hole size on a 2.54 × 2.54 mm matrix and includes DIN 41612 connector mounting holes (32/64/96-way) at one end, compatible with DIN 41494 card frames.
What materials and compliance standards apply?
▶
Manufactured from FR4 epoxy-glass (1.6 mm thick) with 35 µm copper and an OSP (organic solderability preservative) finish, the board is RoHS compliant and designed for durability in prototyping.
