 Some prototyping "breadboards" have this layout, but with metal socket strips into which components are pushed; all the terminals in a straight line in one direction are electrically connected.Such breadboards, and stripboards, fall somewhere between PCBs and point-to-point; they do not require design and manufacture of a PCB, and are as easily modified as a point-to-point setup.A stripboard is a board with holes in a 0.1-inch pitch; all the holes in a straight line are connected by a copper strip as on a PCB.
