Mesa Terminal Block source

Still close but has the same issue as the ones aleksamc mentioned.

At the cost, you might be better off with just using the RS Pro ones and buy the right sockets with matching plugs like Mesa does...

I've used www.elecrow.com/ about 3 times in the past not including my current order, really happy with the quality and time from order to delivery is pretty good. Haven't ordered anything over the size of a BBB size board.
I used jlcpcb.com/ as they had a offer for first time orders. Quite happy with them as well.

Thanks, I want to make a board to play with a Mesa 7i73 as it only has headers on the board.

Do you use Kicad, Eagle or other ?

I still have an old copy of Autotrax that I use if I want to make a quick and dirty pcb at home.

I was going to try my hand at Fusion 360 seeing I have a legal license..

The parts we use are "Welink" brand as they are side stackable
and quite reliable.

example part numbers

F73-B-3.5.08P (8 pin side entry 3.5 mm pitch plug)

F83-5-3.5-02P ( 2 pin 3.5 mm pitch vertical header)

Thanks exactly what I was after.

I’d just like to add the support for Mesa products on this forum is far by the best I’ve ever seen from any manufacturer.

Cheers
Rob

Peter, I'm a bit confused with the plug part numbers so a bit of help would be appreciated
I tracked the part down to this link

welink-sh.com/show_product.aspx?Products...ctsCateID=87&Order=1

And the red text takes you to this PDF

welink-sh.com/Upload/PDF/%E6%8F%92%E6%8B...73B3-09364357816.pdf

Which shows the green part number takes this form
F73-B-3-XX-Y0050

Where XX is the number of terminals (eg 08 = 8 pin)
But I don't understand how to specify Y which refers to the screw. I think it should be 1 but can you confirm?

I'd greatly appreciate your advice as I have a designer doing some work with me to interface with a 7i73 so I need to instruct him.
