Hi!
I´m looking for screw terminals for the Arduino MODULES (Sensors, relays ect.)
I was thinking of something similar to this:
But I don´t know the offset between the pins to the Arduino Uno.
Similar to these screw terminals on the Arduino board:
More information about the Screw Terminals for the modules!
You can read more about my "standard" building here...

Thanks!
Hi,
That looks workable; the 'matching pin header' on your link seems to be 0.025 inches dia so should plug into the Arduino sockets.
See drawings of Arduino UNO/MEGA mechanicals HERE:
Connections to UNO can be a pain; see THIS: which has many easy-to connect pins built-in..
I have used something like that on PCBs. 5.08mm pin to pin.
.
As I can see, you guys misunderstood me.
I have now updated my first post with this link, Please take a look at the product:
I want to have screw terminals on every sensor/relay board I´m going to use with the Arduino.
I need to know what the distance between the pins on a standard Arduino is so I can buy female terminals for it.
I want to have this result: Screw terminals on both ends of the module.
Standard spacing is 0.1 in or 2.56 mm.
You will not get screw terminals with that spacing though.
Actually, you can... but they are practically useless.

Why do you think they are practically useless? I've used them a lot. You can't use huge wires but that isn't a big problem for most Arduino applications. Other than that you just need a small screwdriver.

If you are talking about an UNO, .1"
But the spacing between D7-D8 is none standard, got callipers?
I have not come across .1" screw terminals.

Guys, I don´t want to sound rude, but you don´t understand what I mean.
I want to have female screw terminals for the MODULES/SENSORS. NOT for the Arduino Uno
Meaning the terminals have to have a hole/vagina:
Take a look at the picture below:
All the sensors have pins/penises. I want to be able to put a screw terminal ON them, with a hole/vagina. Penis vs penis (As some of you links me is NOT good)
Although I think I found terminals here: they have an pin offset of 2.54 mm. Is that the default pinoffset of the sensors aswell?
:o
hole/vagina . . . pins/penises
:o
You want to plug a terminal on the pin?
Why not cut the pins off, remove what remains with a soldering then solder terminals in place.

Crimp housings in various sizes (1x3,2x3, etc) and female terminated wires can be found at ww.pololu.com

Time my friend. Time is money. I want something fast and reliable. Screw for example.
LarryD:
If it was me, I would just use female DuPont connector to plug onto the header pins.
How vibration resistant are those DuPont connectors? Do I have to solder?

They are here, they are there, they are every where, and they still keep on working.
Example, they are found in: cars, planes, phones, TVs . . .

My experience are they are a nightmare to use (and I'm talking about 3mm, not even 2.5mm), so easy
to get a strand from one wire into the neighbouring terminal, or through parallax miswire completely,
and you never have a small enough screwdriver when you need it. Pushing thin wires into them usually
bends the wire or misses the gate, and you get no real feedback when tightening the screw that a piece of
copper is actually between the jaws. Jeweller's screwdriver set, good lighting and hand lens are needed to
work with them. 4+mm spacing is reasonable, less is a pain.

Can you give a link please i have only ever managed to find 2 mm spacing.
EDIT
i agree with Mark t comments, only easy way to use them is solid strand wire which is useless for most application.
Alternative is to use wires with ferrule ends, makes everything that more fiddly.
For practical connection and disconnection bigger is better.
FWIW i use Balance charger connectors often which have a very small spacing, its possible yo get pre terminated leads from the modelling fraternity very cheaply. Keeps board space well down.
OP
It sounds to me like you want something like this but with a 0.1 in spacing.
Basically female to female , or a female screw socket with a female pin connector, as i said i do not think they exist.
