== How it works ==
[[File:Stripboard Arduino clone layout by Nathan Chantrell.png|thumb|right|250px|Stripboard [[Arduino]] clone layout.]]
Stripboard has strips of copper on the underside and is drilled with holes 0.1 inch apart. The components are mounted on the top plain side of the hoard, passing the leads and pins of the components through the holes. These are then soldered to the copper strips on the underside of the board. Wire links connect copper strips or the strips are cut to make separate connections.<ref name="eafc">''Electronics: A First Course'' by Owen Bishop, Routledge, 3rd ed., 2010, {{ISBN

== Construction ==
Cut the board to size
First solder the link wires. Strip and solder one end, measure and cut the wire to length, strip the other end, bend and insert it in the other hole and solder, trim both ends. Then fit any terminal pins and sockets, these will help with orientation when fitting the rest of the components. For sockets first solder two diagonal pins then check the socket is fitting flush to the board before soldering the rest of the pins. Solder the rest of the components, starting with the lowest or smallest and working up in size, lastly insert the ICs into their sockets. As you go along double check component values, that polarised components are correctly oriented and that links and leads go to the appropriate copper strips. Finally do a visual check for badly cut strips, poor solder connections and short-circuits between adjacent strips. Use solder braid to remove solder. Consider using terminal pins or solder posts to provide off-board connections and test points, these are less fragile than [[hookup wire]] soldered directly to the board. Test points make testing simpler. Update your layout if you make changes.<ref name="eafc"/>
This order of assembly is best for most projects. If a circuit has several sub-circuits it may be better to build and test each before connecting them together.<ref name="eafc"/>
