Evening

Been pulling my hair out searching for something that matches the following description - don't know it's proper name so does not come up in searches.

A pcb wire terminal where a single wire inserts from top not side which has a little sleeve that moves down and crimps the wire in place. Came across them in an old Philips CdP but there must be modern equivalent?

And help/ideas/link?

Thanks
 
I believe you, but it sounds to me like a combination of two things. One very common sort of connector is the IDC, or insulation displacement connector. This sort of connector has sharp teeth that cut through the insulation around a wire. Typically you use a press or special tool to crimp the wire into the pins.

I am not aware of any crimped conector that lets a wire go or crimps by just inserting a wire. Unless by crimp you just mean grip. A crimp to me is a permanent connection.

There are all manner of interboard connectors for ribbons. The wires are stripped at the ends. I know of two types. One has a spring loaded release bar, you press it down to release the wires, or to ease their insertion. The other type has a movable bar you pull up, inserting the wires, then push it back down to lock the wires.

Try search words like header, wire-to-board, terminal block.
