The 2-position terminal block has proven to be a sturdy, modular way to mount tactile sensors like we have done on past kit designs. We've had requests to make the parts available, so you can reproduce this easy and convenient way of building a tactile sensor.

Just combine it with a TACT1 spring sensor and a paperclip (see explanation in the documentation below), and you're set!

0.5" (12.5mm) tall
