So I bought a 10 pack of 4 x 6 cm perfboard. On two ends there is a row of pads without holes: Perfboard with pads What are they used for?

    Like with any perfboard, they are for whatever you use them for. I use them for thicker wires that dont fit the holes – PlasmaHH Sep 20 '16 at 19:27
  • You can tack SMD components to them. You can "edge mount" a 0.100" header to the board, or sometimes even a 2-row D-sub connector, if you're a bit creative. – Dave Tweed Sep 20 '16 at 19:43

I use them for edge-mounted strips of LEDs. They might also fit a card-edge connector, although they are rather short for that. They could also be used for edge-mount header strips.
