Rapidesign Electrical Terminals, Connectors and Transmission Path Template, 1 Each (R303)

Very useful for making clean circuit diagrams. Makes crisp, easy to identify symbols, and its easy to line everything up. It feels flimsy in hand but has stood up to a lot of abuse. A few symbol choices and omissions are irritating - it would be nice to have a square, for dependent sources and "black box" components, and plus/minus symbols would also have been nice. A mux symbol is also omitted. These are fairly minor quibbles, however.Overall an excellent tool for a computer or electrical engineer.

This is a terrific template. I know some people think it's flimsy but, believe me, I've been using templates since the 1960s this template is perfectly sufficient. I'm not, and I assume, neither are you are going to use it as a hammer. It has more scales and features than my old template that I bought in 1974. Why did I have to buy another template? Because the heavier duty ones I had also broke as will this one. And I will buy another on these when that happens. Entropy reigns, rust never sleeps. Just buy this template if you draw rough sketches of your logic circuits. You'll be happy you did.

I used this for my circuit analysis homework in college. Allowed me to quickly make sketches and keep them looking neat. Good build quality on the stencil too. It is made of a flexible plastic so it never broke in my backpack. Kind of pricey, but it says "Made in the USA" on it. I guess that is why. Production hasn't been outsourced to China yet.

Was not exactly what I was looking for. Good templates was able to use some of the symbols in my sketches.

I was worried that material was not suitable for transport... But luckily they are a little flexible so if they bend in the transport they were able to arrive home in a single piecePerfect fit for homework and self study

This is very handy when I’m marking out things on prints.

Bought this for my grandson who is earning a degree in Electronics and Computer engineering. The professor wanted to know where he got them because she wanted for her classroom. So if an professor thought they were good, I would believe her and recommend .

I'll give it the credit it's due, it does work, and other than the diode bridge (which doesn't give a very clean tracing), most of the traces come out pretty clean. That being said, it was much thinner & felt much cheaper than expected. I'd compare its material to that of a flexible cutting board, though a tad thicker (depending on the cutting board, of course). It's also transparent, not the biggest deal, but it doesn't appear as such on the product image. Would I recommend getting this? If you're taking a class where you make a ton of circuit designs on paper, then I'd say it's worth it, but I really don't think it's worth its price, something like this probably costs less than $5-$10 to make, I'm sure there are cheaper templates out there, but if you can't find one, this will work.I guess that's my overall conclusion, "Eh, it'll do". I plan to update in a few months as to whether it has any durability issues, but I do doubt there will be any noticeable wear given that you put very little stress on it to use it.
