Spring Terminals - PCB Mount (3-Pin)

The Sparkfun Spring Terminals - PCB Mount (3-Pin) are compact, user-friendly terminals that provide a quick and efficient way to interface with bare wires. These terminals are designed to open the aperture with a small arm, allowing the wire to be inserted. Once the arm is released, the wire is held securely in place. Notably, these terminals are capable of handling higher current and are more resilient than breadboard or female header type connections.

The Sparkfun Spring Terminals are designed with a standard spacing of 2.54mm, allowing them to be inserted directly into perf and proto boards. The product range includes options for 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 positions. These terminals are rated to handle up to 150V at 2A and can accept wire sizes ranging from 26 to 20AWG.

One of the standout features of the Sparkfun Spring Terminals is their ease of use. The simple, intuitive design allows for quick and easy connection to bare wires, making them a versatile solution for a wide range of applications. Whether you're working on a DIY electronics project or a professional prototyping assignment, these terminals can provide a reliable and efficient connection solution.

These terminals not only provide a practical solution for interfacing with bare wires, but they also offer the added benefit of increased resilience and current capacity. This makes them a superior choice compared to breadboard or female header type connections, especially for applications that require a higher current capacity.
