Terminal Barrier Strip without the Barrier

J

Jeff

Guest
I'm looking for a part exactly like a terminal barrier strip except
one that has no barriers. Basically, I want to distribute power to
multiple devices (in this case 7 5mW laser pointers) and thought a
strip where I could just connect the wires would work well. I've
tried searching some of the electronic sites (digikey, jameco, etc)
and Google but can't find what i'm looking for. Any thoughts or
suggestions for a different way to hook them all up?

Would it be typical to simply use a small pc board and solder up rows
of pins and then place 2pin connectors on the ends of the laser wires?
Power and ground would connect to the board and I would just chain the
connections down each row of the board?

Thanks,
Jeff

You can use a barrier strip if you have it, there are 'bridges' made to join
adjacent positions electrically. Though I can't find them...

Believe it or not, radio shack sells an 8 position barrier strip jumper.
I have used it in combination with their barrier strips to create a
supply bus for powering a bunch of scanners and receivers.

This might be the jumper for a barrier strip...the price is right at .19
each.

It should be a metal arch.
 
Excellent...thank you. That will work!

I hadn't thought about looking at Radio Shack (I assumed they wouldn't
have anything for this application). Thanks...this will work too!
