The Railwire is not your personal army.
Would a suitcase connecter achieve your goal? I know they are pooh-poohed in some circles, ...
This is probably closer to Ed's idea:http://acculites.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=77&products_id=657My main beef with this board is no mounting holes, no room to drill my own, and the protrusions on the backside preclude double-sided foam mounting tape. I bought a 10-pack hoping to use them for the many DCC taps needed for my project, but compensating for the mounting issue was difficult given my use of steel framing. Insulating the backside had potential long-term consequences such as electrical tape migration or cold-flow.
Would a suitcase connecter achieve your goal? I know they are pooh-poohed in some circles, but they are used extensively in the RV industry where they have to put up with much more abuse then the average layout.When properly crimped they are quite reliable.They would also be somewhat permanent which may or may not be an advantage...
They're fine as long as you're using the genuine 3M product. Where MRRs and other amateur electronics-fiddlers get in trouble is the usual find-the-cheapest no-name junk from the DIY stores, swap meets or eBay.
Where have THOSE been my entire life?
Also in stock at Digi-Key in the event that you reside in a Menards-free location.
Another vote for WAGO 221 here.
I found a 36 pack for $25 at at Amaze-on, and they can be here tomorrow.
