ONE PASircuitTM Prototyping Boards

Schematic Layout "Congratulations on your new prototyping board line. I wish these had been available 10 years ago. And you may quote me on that."

-- Forrest M. Mimms III


Ten or twenty years ago, grid type protoyping boards were state-of-the-art technology and since then have saved countless hours of engineering time compared to point-to-point wiring of prototypes. While standard grids provide a convenient wiring path for ICs, they still require wiring jumper after jumper to interconnect the rest of the circuit. While most of our components have improved by several orders of magnitude, most of us are still using the decades-old grids for prototyping. Until now ...

The Patent Pending ONE PASSircuitTM line of PCBs provide a "complete circuit" approach to prototyping that provides a convenient interconnect pattern for many common circuit structures. As seen below, even complex applications like microprocessor, robotics and motor controls can be constructed in minimum board space and with relatively few jumpers. These clever boards eliminate the need for expensive, application specific "Development Boards" that force you to use someone else's design and programming method. Take total control at a fraction of the price.

Example 1

If you have ever tried breadboarding "H Bridges", you will love the example below. There are four complete bridges on the board, 16 transistors, 16 resistors, 16 diodes and only 8 jumper wires! And most of the board is still empty! Motion control has never been so easy.

Example 2

As an added bonus, for that finished look and feel, all of our boards fit directly into ABS plastic project cases from Radio Shack(R). Each case comes with both aluminum and plastic lid with partial cutouts for DB-9 and DB-25 connectors, and larger sizes include rectangular openings for LCD displays.

Example 3

By using 4 pin sockets for active devices (SCRs, TRIACs, Transistors, etc.) one can turn the device 360 degrees to find the best aspect to fit the circuit's needs. Above are eight ways to place devices that are isolated from power. Below are six ways to place devices that are directly connected to power. Any device, regardless of pin out or application can be accommodated.

Example 4

The ONE PASStructureTM creates an array of spaces that can be viewed as a socket architecture. Some common uses are depicted below. From left to right they are: 1) Crystal, 2) Bridge Rectifier, 3) Voltage Regulator, 4) Transistor / Isolated, 5) PIC Programming Connector, 6) Transistor / Powered, 7) IF Transformer, 8) Pot, 9) RC Network, 10) Voltage Divider.
