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 ?

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.

Spade terminals are known to corrode in time unless they are Gold plated.
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.
