Recommendations: For EEC180A, a medium-sized protoboard is adequate. It should allow for at least 5 to 8 20-pin integrated circuit (IC) packages. If you plan to take EEC172, the large-sized protoboard is needed for that course (similar to Global PB104). Global Specialties has a lifetime replacement guarantee on their protoboards.
