BusBoard Prototype Systems
BusBoard Prototype Systems (BPS) is a leading manufacturer of high-quality prototyping products. BusBoard's focus is providing the boards and interconnects to tie your electronic components together. BPS plug-in breadboards are particularly known for their high-precision contacts that allow both thin wires and thick pins to be reliably inserted. Our solderable PCB boardboards allow you to quickly build and test a circuit on a plug-in breadboard, and then solder it on a matching PCB for a long-lasting prototype.
BusBoard's product line includes plug-in breadboards, solderable PCB breadboards, snappable PCBs, SMT boards, adapter boards, plastic and aluminum enclosures, and ZipWire interconnects. BusBoard’s love of electronics led to the Junior Genius line of educational kits that provide a fun way for beginners to learn electricity basics. BusBoard products have become the trusted foundation for electronic prototyping by hobbyists and professionals around the world.
BPS was founded in 1996 to provide new prototyping PCBs to speed prototype assembly. A group of engineers could not find the proto PCB patterns they needed to easily hand build microcontroller bus and RF amplifier circuits. BusBoard-3U was created to quickly connect EPROMs and SRAMs to microcontrollers. SMTboard-3U-Thin was made to allow RF amplifiers to be constructed without unwanted oscillations. Many other patterns have been added over the years to help our customers. BPS provides the most popular prototyping PCB patterns as well as specialized patterns not found elsewhere.
