[SOLVED] What is this connector called?

bobsun · Nov 28, 2011

Hi,

I found a connector below, which allows using screw for fastening, particularly convenient if frequent attach/detach are required.

However, I don’t know the formal name for this type of connector so cannot search it on the net.
Does anyone know what it is called?

Hey Bob - they go under a bunch of (vague) names: screw connectors, headers, wire-to-board connector etc etc.

Not to recommend any (of the 1000's) of manufacturers in particular, but you can get them here (for example):
WAGO|231-533/001-000.|HEADER, RIGHTANGLE, 3WAY | element14 Australia
...and here's the plug:
WAGO|231-303/026-000.|PLUG, FREE, 3WAY | element14 Australia

Cheers!

thylacine1975 and Santosh13,

Wire-to-Board connector seems to be the best name and returns most results. Thanks.
