Hexapod Ritual protoboards are designed for direct surface mount prototyping. The pads have a horizontal pitch of 50-mil (1.27mm), which works well for components using SOIC, SOT-23, TO-252, 0603 and 1206 footprints. Ritual A boards have a 2-layer design with a ground ring, central power rails, left-right pin connectivity, and top and bottom paired signal lines. The signal lines on the top and bottom are accessible via interleaved pads that make it easy to build most of the circuit with uninsulated wire and solder bridges. The mounting holes have clearance for M2 washers, and the board has nice rounded corners for a smooth feel when prototyping. See ritual prototyping examples for how common packages fit on the board, and how to use the signal distribution features. Use the ritual A design template (PDF) to layout your circuits. part number HXP-RAA5-G-MG board size 70 x 30 x 1.6mm surface finish ENIG solder mask color matte green through-hole spacing 100 mil (2.54mm) central pad pitch (center to center) 50 mil (1.27mm) central pad gap (copper to copper) 12 mil (0.305mm) PCB only.
