New MEGA shield 2x18-pin female headers

NKC Electronics is now using a single 2x18-pin long legged female headers for the MEGA shield header kit and the MEGA shield kits:

eh, "long legged female".....

Sexy, right? :wink:

You are taking it out of context... you need to use the more complete "long legged female header".

Wish they had a screw terminal block option- I don't trust the push-in connectors - though a 2x screw terminal is would be a strange beast.

then thses should work nicly for you

Maybe a mega screw terminal shield should be a new project for me/someone :smiley:

I like the push in connectors myself but each to their own...

A screw terminal shield for the Arduino / Freeduino / Seeeduino board is already available: http://www.nkcelectronics.com/freeduino-terminal-block-shield-arduino-compatible.html

Yes but you can't buy one to break out all of the mega headers into screw terminals...

Are you talking about the 2x18 mega headers... They are put through the board and soldered on the underside (all 36 pins)...

Well I don't do anything cos I'm nothing to do with it but as it's a kit, you will have to do that yourself...
