A 10-way 3.5mm-pitch PCB terminal block paired with a matching rising clamp screw socket. Together they provide robust, solderless I/O and power connections for prototyping and production boards alike.
The terminal block solders to your PCB at a 90° angle, while the rising clamp socket plugs in from above and accepts 16–24 AWG wire. Both components are rated for 12A per way at 300V AC and operate across a wide temperature range.

Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- AWG
- American Wire Gauge is a numbering system for wire thickness, where a lower number means a thicker wire. The AWG rating matters because thicker wire can usually carry more current with less voltage drop and heating.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- Terminal block
- A connector used to join wires together in a neat, removable, or serviceable way. For this product, it helps split one power input into several outputs without soldering.
