Hi,

For the TX unit I prefer the KF128 type connectors (2.54mm pitch).



They are available (easily found at AliExpress) with a great variety of pins numbers.
In some cases (mostly where sensors close to the PCB) pin headers may be more suitable.

thanks for the reply Werk
yes they are the block type  i have
i was thinking push on wire connectors might be more convenient and reliable then bare wire screw down connections.
