perfboard
Holey electronics base
Perfboard is a flat board perforated with a grid of holes, used for building electronic circuits.
Components are inserted through the holes and soldered together on the back, making it useful for prototyping when you've moved beyond a breadboard but aren't ready for a custom printed circuit board.
Short for perforated board.
