Passive Infrared Motion Sensor Question

I am not an electronics person so I apoligize in advance.··What type of connector is needed to attach wires to the 3 prongs here?·

I do not·wish to solder wires to this board.

Thank you

This takes a 3-pin 0.1" female header. Parallax sells jumper cables using these at each end. I often will buy the long version, cut it in half (to get two identical pieces), separate and strip the ends, and solder to that. You can also buy the plastic "box" and single pin inserts from suppliers like Jameco or Mouser or DigiKey and assemble it yourself.

You mean these guys?

I imagine those pins are used to connect to female connectors together since there are no male connectors?· (of the product shown above)

I wonder does RadioShack sell these?

The cables are all built with female ends, then you can get a bunch of the three pin headers to connect two cables together if necessary.

As I suspected. Now if RadioShack sells these cables I will be in business.
