But that ease of use has one downside: now you don't have a breadboard as a mechanical substrate... which is why we created this nifty swirly grid design to allow for easy mounting of various small microcontrollers and sensor boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grid is made out of an 'aluminium PCB' - we have that in quotes because while technically it is made with a PCB process for single-sided aluminium-core PCBs, there's no actual copper on here, it's just the aluminium backing, and then black solder mask with silkscreen. The aluminium is conductive both electrically and thermally - so watch out if you are using metal screws to attach stuff. Unless, that is, you want to turn the whole thing into a ground plane in which case: go for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach square is 0.6\" x 0.6\" and there are holes or slots every 0.2 inches. With the various dots and dashes, you can pretty much make anything on a 0.1\" grid fit. Each drill hole is 0.1\" \/ 2.54mm diameter, and the slots are 0.11\" x 0.3\" (2.75 x 7.5mm)  if that's not good enough, the aluminium is easy to cut\/drill\/machine\/bend if you need more customisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: The boards and cables are NOT included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis one is 2 x 10 'blocks', so 1.2\" x 6\" in size or about  37 x 150mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b9jKy1IP7Wc?si=fmHluN5zL2mroyD8\u0026amp;start=176\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.062\" thick aluminum plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor 0.1\" grid mounting projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.2\" x 6\" dimensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Weight: 10.7g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eResources\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWanna make your own?\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eKiCad Python script grid generator is available \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gist.github.com\/tannewt\/0acd1f6af48c43dc7e15243fe0af47ed\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e for making any size you desire!\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50847566430481,"sku":"ADA5780","price":3.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/6285\/6209\/files\/adafruit-swirly-aluminum-mounting-grid-for-0-1-spaced-pcbs-2x10-adafruit-ada5780-41179534917827.jpg?v=1735215545","url":"https:\/\/abcd3032.myshopify.com\/hi\/products\/adafruit-swirly-aluminum-mounting-grid-for-0-1-spaced-pcbs-2x10","provider":"Tayyab Zak","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
