The Great Search - SMT Screw Terminal Blocks
https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/t/te-connectivity-amp/board-mount-reflow-terminal-blocks
This weeks' Great Search comes to us from social medial, where Jeremy S Cook asks: "Anyone know where I could find surface mount screw terminals?" (https://twitter.com/JeremySCook/status/1680208303870074880) We're glad you asked! This is something we've had to deal with, since we like to have solder-less designs but want to avoid using the selective solder machine or hand soldering for just 2 points. We've used Wago SMT terminal blocks on boards like the Bonsai Buckaroo (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4534) and STEMMA relay breakout (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4409) - the latter board we also wanted to avoid having contact terminals that were exposed in case folks were using mains power. However, these are push terminals, and they specifically want *screw-tightening* terminals. Does such a thing exist? Tune in to find out!
