Frequently Asked Questions
What is the RRB-013 Oktapad® SMT Prototyping Eurocard?
▶
The RRB-013 is a single-height (3U), single-sided Eurocard in Oktapad format (100 × 160 mm), optimized for hand-wiring surface-mount devices alongside conventional component wiring.
How does this board combine SMT and stripboard formats?
▶
Silkscreened SMD footprints fan out to larger solder pads that align with the underlying 2.54 × 2.54 mm hole matrix (1.02 mm drills), enabling both SMD soldering and traditional point-to-point wiring.
What prototyping features are provided?
▶
Features include popular SMD footprints with reference silkscreen, piggy-back mounting holes (4×), partial colander ground plane, and a grid reference system for accurate component placement.
What connector provisions and compatibility does it offer?
▶
Equipped with DIN 41612 connector mounting holes at one end (32/64/96-way) and compatible with DIN 41494 card frames, the board supports Roadrunner® wiring methods, wire wrapping, and general discrete wiring.
What materials and standards compliance apply?
▶
Made from FR4 epoxy glass (1.6 mm thick) with 35 µm copper and an OSP anti-tarnish finish, the board is RoHS compliant, ensuring durability and environmental safety.
