Miniature barrier strip for Tomar/similar signal wires?

[richhotrain]

I have joined the thin wires from Tomar signals to heavier 22 gauge wires with a soldered connection and, then, protected the soldered connection with heat shrink tubing.  

You could do the same, and if you still want to connect the wires to barrier strips, just use standard sized barrier strips.

 Several alternatives. Here's a good one - use RJ45 plugs and sockets:

Another way I've seen before was to mount the signal to an 8 pin DIP header, and install an 8 pin IC socket in the layout base. Signal plugs in, easily removed to prevent damage when working on things or cleaning the track, and like the other link I shared, no connections UNDERNEATH once everything is installed - the signal connects from the top.

I use a lot of these.

For smaller guage stranded wire, I double the stripped ends and tin them first.

Good luck.

Does anyone know of a miniature barrier strip that I can mount under a layout board to connect the super thin signal wires found in Tomar or BLMA signals? 

I'm looking for something like this:

but small enough to screw the tiny signal wires into.

The small ones all seem to be for PC Board mounting, like this:

Anyone know of a product out there that is good for screwing in the super tiny signal wires that doesn't require a PC Board?

And yes I can always solder, but screw terminals makes replacing and removing a million times easier.
