It is turret terminals you are looking for : - https://onecall.farnell.com/c/connectors/crimp-terminals-solder-terminals-s= plices/solder-press-mount-turret-terminals?searchref=3Dsearchlookahead One about a third the way down the first page matches your description, but= as you say, has a sizable hole. Others are just plain pins that would go i= nto a component lead hole. I only looked down the first page of 25, so there may be something more app= licable for your use on a later page. Certainly the split top produces the term "turret" as it results in somethi= ng looking like castellation on a castle turret. -----Original Message----- From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu On Behalf Of David = C Brown Sent: 13 October 2018 15:19 To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public. Subject: Re: [EE] What are they called No. Turret terminals or turret tags are not really intended for PCB mounting. They fit 1/8 inch holes on the tag strips used in old valve gear.
