Connecting peripherals

Hello! When I'm working on prototypes, I usually use regular connecting cables that just plug in (picture).

It's okay, but when I want to take the project to the final stage, this method isn't entirely suitable because if I move the device, the cables can disconnect.

So, I'd like to ask for advice on how you connect Arduino to other peripherals when creating a final product. Is there something like Wago terminals? Something like a connecting cables, but with a lever to prevent the cable from being pulled out? I want to avoid soldering. Thank you.

The final stage means soldering. Why do you want to avoid it? What you said is like "I want to race in the Tour De France but I want to keep the stabilisers/training wheels on my bicycle".

There is no substitute for soldered connections! :wink:

well...I thought there wouldn't be much of an alternative. Thanks.

Certainly is an alternative, there are Arduino-compatibles with screw terminal blocks. But of course the peripherals would also need screw terminals, or connectors that use crimped inserts.

Usually a product means a PCB and customized connectors, often ribbon.

A separate screw shield might also do:

For Uno/Mega e.g. uno screw shield - Google Search
For Mega: mega screw shield - Google Search
For Nano e.g. nano screw shield - Google Search

In my experience they fit snugly and will not easily separate.
