BREADBOARD ENCLOSURE

This sketch illustrates how you could package the Breadboard. The board is dimensioned to fit in a standard and inexpensive plastic clamshell enclosure available from Mouser. It’s not really even necessary to put the Breadboard in any  enclosure – you could just put some rubber feet on the board and use it on “open” the desktop – or you could choose to purchase this option with the Breadboard kit offering in our next column (the Fall 2002 issue of QRP Quarterly). This type of enclosure was chosen to allow easy access to all mounted components when the lid is off, and to allow components to protrude from all board edges. Cutting holes in the plastic top half is easy for the LCD, keypad, LEDs, switches, and whatever else you might use on the board.

The enclosed Digital QRP Breadboard makes a nice, flexible and powerful accessory for your operating bench … that is, whenever you’re not experimenting with new components or software for it!
