<I was driving home from the hangar tonight and had an idea.
I have a whole bunch of these terminal strips left
over from another project and I had the idea of making a small
printed circuit board that would adapt a male 38 pin D sub min
printed circuit board connector to these easy to use terminal strips.
Merely strip the wire, insert it in the hole and tighten the screw.

I am laying out the PC board and will order a bunch of mating male
38 pin D sub min connectors to solder to the printed circuit adapter
board. If anybody wants such an adapter let me
know. Cost should be around $20 or $30.

Seems like a good idea, but does add another contact connection in the
circuit.   One more place for something to go wrong; particularly on a
low voltage circuit.  Just something to consider.

Yep should be reliable however as they are gold to gold and found in zillions
of consumer products.
