You guys prefer the posts over the loops on the back of the connectors?
I prefer the loops, helps to hold wires in place as you solder them. I imagine that if you need to solder to a circuit board, the posts would be better.
yea, I prefer posts when using a prototype board. When you have a double sided copper prototype board, you can use each row of pins as an anchor, one row soldered on top and the other row soldered on the bottom This helps make it rugged enough for a prototype Just as with DB connectors Now a right angle connector would be ideal, but you have to take what you can get sometimes with the supply. On the User Port enclosures, I think Hammond might have a good option, Looking there soon Dan
