Banging my head

jonclox · June 19, 2014, 11:46:13 AM

because I`m looking for an item that looks a bit like a star and has soldering tags at the end of its 'arms' and a central fixing hole in the centre.
I know exactly what I mean but just cant think what to ask for. (they are for terminating multi common wire returns in this instance)

Farnell call it a Solder Eyelet. I searched for "star lug" and found this.

Hope this helps

Best regards

Many thanks I just couldn't put a name to it

The price is off-putting though. I may well have to rethink the situation

Maplins have similar items but not multi-terminals - they call them ISOtags - perhaps a search on that term may yield a more cost-effective solution.

Thanks talisman I think that's the way I shall have to go.
Actually Ive just ordered a pack of 20 through fleabay from someone who had over stocked, cost me £1.50 +80p postage

Ah, right, I thought "banging my head" in the literal sense. I'm currently sporting a cut on my forehead where I stood up getting milk out of the fridge after forgetting to close a head-height cupboard door!

Ouch.
Feeling better now?

Yeah, just a small blemish. Did it worse eight years ago, I passed out and banged my head again so I had both a cut and a graze!
