4 to 1 connector?

Other Hardware General Electronics
1

I have a rather simple Arduino circuit layout. Basically all of the wires go o pins on the board.
The only exception is that I have 3 to 4 wires that all need to go to ground and 3 to 4 wires that all need to go to 5V power. I'd prefer not to have to use a breadboard, circuit board, or screw cap connector.

Does there exist a 4 to one connector that I can plug 4 wires to on one side and it feeds out a single wire to connect to my (e.g. 5V) Arduino board?

Thanks!

I am from the "old school" and
we just twist the wires together
and solder them.

Cut one of these off the strip, put common wire in one side, other wires in other side, tighten screws.

What are these wires powering? Do you know that these loads will not drag down the power supply?

Are you building a permanent project, in which soldering the wires would be appropriate, or testing the project, in which case breadboard would be appropriate

What I do is use a piece of Copper Clad (PCB), cut it in a strip maybe 1" by 1/4", use my dremel tool cut a slot across the center, tape it down with double sided tape, or a hole and a screw, then I solder wires to each side, they are isolated if you removed the copper correctly.
