I'm building a new amp and this time around would like to solder on tabs rather than wire directly to the board.
I purchased some of these but the holes in the PCB are not big enough. I could go for something like this but then the surface area for the connection is much smaller. Does anyone know of a connector that will do what I require and still retain the larger surface area? Thanks, Dan |

Excuse me for stating the obvious.
Why not just enlarge the holes slightly ? Or take a needle file to the pins to make them smaller ? http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/crimp-terminals/0534840/ Last edited by KatieandDad; 2nd April 2012 at 11:41 AM. |

The single pin part should be able to carry 6 amps. Your limit is dictated by the solderjoint, not the quickconnect. E

If the solder pads are fairly large and you are reasonably careful then yes.
If you are in doubt just make the connector pins smaller with a file. |

You'd also need Gold plated recepticals. Nothing super expensive there as they are commonly available at a reasonable price. Screw terminals do seem to last the test of time better. |
