[GreenKeys] OT: Terminal block suggestion for Raspberry Pi?

[Paul Heller]

I’m interested in that as well! I totally understand what you are saying. I tried to find taller cases but never liked the ones that I found. 

Depending on your needs, perhaps a 40 pin ribbon cable might work if you can mill out a slot for it where the top of the case meets the side? The challenge would be identifying the pins. Get it wrong and you can easily destroy the PI.

I use this with a breadboard when experimenting (although usually not the breadboard included with it because it is so tiny): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072XBX3XX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 <https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072XBX3XX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1>

I have straight, push in connectors that go onto the pins… but with the little case the Pi sits in, the pins hit the top, the wires get bent and if you bump the leads just right, it shorts out.  Need something - like a terminal block, that can help turn the works 90° out the side slot (and not hit the top).  Anyone have any ideas out there ;o ???
