These 4-pin PCB-mount spring terminals provide a quick, tool-free way to connect bare wires to your circuit board. Simply press the spring arm to open the aperture, insert the wire, and release — the wire is held firmly in place.
With standard 0.1" (2.54mm) pin spacing, these terminals insert directly into perfboard and protoboard. They offer higher current capacity and more reliable connections than breadboard or female header connections.

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.
