“I use a lot of these and have never had a problem. They make connecting wires to the arduino quicker and they stay secure.
Start wiring from the bottom (lower numbers) first. This makes it easier to get at the screws.”
“Simple way to create more robust connections to the Uno while still be able to swop them easily. Perfect fit onto the Uno first time. Easy to order online and delivered quickly.”
“I bought one of these to make my Arduino part of a permanent installation after testing the sketch with a breadboard and push-in wires. The shield was fine, but had a feature which is the result of what I consider to be a mistake in the Arduino Uno design. I fitted the shield to my Arduino without difficulty, but found that the brass pillars supplied had a different thread at one end (the male thread, which goes into the shield is a non-metric screw of small diameter, which I have not been able to identify. The female thread at the other end is an M3. This means that the pillars supplied do not nest, so when you have the shield attached to the Arduino you have to find different pillars with a M3 thread at both ends, to attach the Arduino to a PCB. I suspect that these unusual pillars have been designed to overcome the fact that one of the holes in the Arduino is so close to a header that standard M3 pillars cannot be used. Please could you advise on how to attach an Arduino Uno plus your shield to a PCB?”
“Just what I needed. Had loads of sensors to connect and this makes it easy. Extra connections for power on the shield saved me from having to breakout to a separate terminal block.”
