Hey Jan Cumps as you scheme how to take over the test and measurement world with the RPI Pico in your corporate castle, have you given any though to what your PST tool might look like, beyond just a bare Pico.
I bought some Hammond 1551K enclosures awhile back for a Pico project.

I think there is room for a 5 pole terminal block if I cut the wall of the enclosure off.
Thoughts? Comments? Criticisms?
I love it when a plan comes together, a 3 dollar case and a scrap of perfboard is all that is needed
If you use a right angle pluggable terminal block header on the PCB inside the enclosure
then you can use a pluggable terminal block screw terminal block outside the case
Allows you to easily swap connectors or access the terminal screws on the outside.
I totally agree but for the scottiebabe cheapskate edition its going to be the cheapest screw terminal possible (not even rising cage clamp lol)
You will have to holdout for the JC signature luxury edition on tindie for $100.
But yes, those pluggable terminals are really nice

If you are interested, I have some left over phoenix connectors, which are 0.15" or 3.81mm spacing, 10 positions (1803358 and 1803659), that you might be able to carefully cut down to your desired width. I would gladly send you a couple of pairs for the cost of postage. These are left over pieces that I found for super cheap on ebay years ago.
Will they have Swarovski crystals on them though ?
