What donald and I are really looking for is a telco jack that we could pin right to the board so that we could easily connect/disconnect a probe (in this instance a DS18S20) with either rj45 or rj11 connector without having to use the screw in adapter. This would be similar to the rj45 jack that hobby-boards.com uses to connect the modules. A rj45 or rj11 jack with board pins on the bottom instead of a punch block on the back. the probe uses a 3 pin setup (GND, DQ and +12v). The pinout can be determined after a jack is soldered to the board with three pins in the correct holes.

The handset cords are smaller, but the RJ-11 seems to be the defacto standard for a lot of prefab 1-wire products. There's even a standard of sorts for wire positions. I wouldn't recommend punchdown blocks for use in situations where you'll be disconnecting and reconnecting often. Dave On Tue, 2008-11-11 at 11:38 -0500, Donald J.
