Terminal block connectors?

[ConnivingPigeon]

Hello,

I'm working on my reefpi build and am wanting to migrate away from "pins into the breadboard" to something cleaner where I bring the pins out to terminal blocks attached to the outside of my enclosure (a pencil case for now). I spent some time on mouser and couldn't actually find terminal blocks with screws I could use to secure the blocks to the enclosure (e.g. https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/18/1/IEub05tAqIbs-1283721.pdf) -- does anyone have a suggestion for what to search for? I figure I want some 2-pole blocks for simple sensors and then some 4-pole blocks I can use to expose I2C interfaces for later expansions

Something like this?

Raspberry Pi Terminal Block Breakout Board

or this?

DIN Rail mount screw terminal adapter

Hope that helps.....

Those are useful on the side of the rPi, but I'm thinking on the side of the enclosure itself. I tried instead on digikey and found this: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amphenol-anytek/VC0202510000G/4955395 ... but that part is 10 weeks out of stock both there and everywhere else I can find it, and if it was in stock they only sell them in batches of 70

There's a ton of terminal connectors on Mouser or Digikey, you can filter it by in stock.
