Mill-Max 64-pin SIP socket on test PCB strip
This is a strip of PCB I cut with a Radio Shack nibbling tool as a test section to exactly hold 5 of my dual-alphanumeric LED displays. The nibbling tool loses a small section of board because it nibbles a ~1/4" swath through it, but the lack of sawdust, noise (I work late in a quiet apartment building), and the incredible precision of the cuts makes it ideal for me. I cut 4 of these board strips from a single Radio Shack board, and they worked perfectly. They hold 20 dual alphanums total, but I need to hold 45, though I'll probably go with fabricated PCBs for the finished product.
