Nothing makes a project harder to maintain than a lot of loose wiring. That's why we like to use terminal blocks whenever making PCB-to-Wire connections. These particular 5 mm terminal blocks are our favorite: big enough for a range of wire gauges, easy to adjust with a screwdriver, and not too chunky. The only down-side is that they do fit into 2.5mm spaced holes. They do fit nicely into solderless breadboards.
These terminal blocks are designed to 'snap' together. You can attach as many 3-pin or 2-pin ones along as you'd like to make the arbitrary length of the terminal block.
So useful, we sell them as a pack of 5! Each order will net you 5 pieces of 3-pin connectors.
