For my new control cabinet I've designed some custom PCBs to make wiring a little easier. Basically some compact DB-25/15/9 breakout boards and another board to simplify the wiring for a few self holding relays. All have been designed to take 3.5mm pitch screw connectors but since I can be a little persnickety about things being the same I was wondering if there are some part numbers for the PCB headers & plug in terminals used on the mesa board ie: the green\orange connector on the 7i76.
I've had a look at some products from Dinkle, Weidmuller & Phoenix Contact but can't seem to find something that suit.
Just a rendering from Kicad.

Close but not quite, the end overhang, if you measure from the centre of the last pin, is more than half the pin pitch. So unlike the one mesa uses you wont be able to stack say, a 4 way, a 2 way and a 4 way plug in a 10 way header.
Upon further searching Wurth may have the one's I'm after. In the pdf it's the 1.75mm dimension I'm talking about.

Also I'm keen to know where you make your circuit boards. I need one too!

These are cheap and fit the Mesa boards so just use their mate

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

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...BeagleBrainz wrote: Thanks Rod,

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

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..

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)
