Hello and thanks always.
This time I have a question regarding building circuits on a perfboard.
I am building now a circuit in which I have to connect one device on one side and another device on the other side.
First I tried to do this on the usual perfoard I use. This has the holes covered with metal on only one side so, but in this case I am soldering a socket on one side (for one device) and the pins on the other side (for another device or a breadboard), so when I tried to solder the pins from the side that had no metal, it was impossible. I couldn't do it.
Next, I tried a perfboard with metal on both sides of the holes. And it worked to some extend ,I could solder the socket on one side and the pins on the other but then I realized something... How am I going to connect the pins of the socket (coming from device 1) to the pins of the connection pins(for the device 2)? This because this pins have some plastic on that side so I cant solder them...
So far what I have done is for each pin, put some wire across a hole near the pin holes, solder them (on the side where it is possible to solder) and then connect the socket pins to this wire since I cant connect it directly to the connection pins.
A better way to understand what I am saying is looking at this pic
Now, I dont think this is a professional way to do it.
I was adviced to push the plastic part so that I can solder the pins from just one side, but when I tried to do that the pins broke down, couldnt do it.
I would very much appreciate any advice on how to do this the correct way.
Thanks a lot
