Homebrew PCBs

Hello,

I'm not Rick, but the green color is a tipoff. They're likely Phoenix 
connectors, and they're available at mouser and digi-key. You can get 
these kind of screw terminals a number of places, and the "other" 
major mfr's. products are blue. Usually they come in .200 and .156" 
inch size, and 5mm metric (pin spacing) Sold in 2 and 3 screw units, 
they have "dovetails" so you can join them up as long as you need.

Some types are what's called "pluggable", which means you solder a 
strip which looks just like a typical pin header, and the screw 
terminal part fits onto this. That way, once you're wired up, you can 
remove the connector to remove/replace the unit. Without re-wiring 
everything.

Hope this helps,

Ballendo

P.S. You usually design the s/m cover to surround the screw 
terminals. Some types have a "ledge" across the back to help. The 
sides are easy.
