PCB headers for coils and power pack.

[Teleno]

The MiniPulse Plus that I'm building comes with sets of headers with 3 pins in a manageable size. I wanted to buy more and when searcing in Google, aliexpress etc I only see "micro" headers made for 20 y. olds with steady hands and sharp sight.

Who can point me to a manageble set of headers the kind used in MiniPulse Plus?

Thanks to all.

Hi Teleno
Something like this cut in half works well.
Have a good day,

I use radio control servo leads for models.

What about the PCB side of the connectors?

They are called header pins just snap off and solder

I would not use none locking connectors again. Accidentally dropping you detector and then having to take it apart in the field is over rated. Last detector I built I soldered all leads directly to the board. Just one less thing to go wrong or corrode.

Or you can apply a small drop of hot glue to stop it coming loose. Having removable connectors is very useful during the building, testing and debugging phase.

I use connectors all the time now.
Headers and servo connectors are fairly tight.
There are crap ones and good ones.

Just splay the outside pins like a Y , works in R/C planes.

Next time I take my IDX apart I will do that

It only takes a fraction to splay the pins, and then use needle nose pliers to squeeze the pins parallel then slip on plug, its easy to do.

These are the headers in the MPP kit. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
