Dear folks,
I have a strange problem!
For my pcb I'm searching for a way to connect a single cable/wire, however I want to avoid soldering it directly into a wire pad.
Well, terminal block you say - but these guys all start from 2 rows and I need only one row and further I'm limited on space (otherwise I would just parallel both rows).
A plug, maybe? Well, I would like to avoid crimping as well.
What do you use for that?
It's intended for smallish current (several amps) and should be as small as possible (about 10x5mm or less would be nice).
I know I don't have so many wishes free, but if one could easily buy it e.g. at Digikey?
Thank you! Have fun, Hannes

Have you ever looked at dismantling a computer's Molex connector?
The metal pins can be removed form the plastic housing and they can then push- fit together. Of course, this would be a very compact solution but you'd need to heatshrink or find other ways to insulate the metal.
I'm assuming it's not too high voltage?

Thank you for your replies!
Indeed a pcb-spade was exactly what I thought! Pins would also be an option, however they always require a socket - for final assembly one could solder the wire onto the spade directly.
As it's intended for a ground connection I want a really good connection
Thank you for your help!
All the best, Hannes
