Not strictly solid state, but anyway...
Just interested to know what methods folk favour for attaching heavier guage wires (like power supply and speaker cables) to amplifier PCBs.
The amp kits I've built just used PCB pins, but I don't trust these to be mechanically reliable. I'm wondering about using solder-in spade lugs.
Your suggestions, please.
Paul.

Hi,
If I have time, I use solder rivets. Needs extra time riveting to pcb and soldering but sure connection.
Otherwise, I solder the wires directly to the pcb.

you may check at this adress for small parts but remenber that a soldered connection is always better tha a mechanical connection

solder tail barrier strips or terminal bocks have always worked good for me.......A past design for a lighting controller required a 8GA power connector and it withstood abuse in police/emergancy vehicles

PCB mount terminal blocks. On a DIY project chances are I will diasassemble and re-assemple it a couple of times at least before being satisfied. Soldering, desoldering and resoldering eventually damages the PCB no mater how careful one is.
sam9 is wright about soldering an desoldering this is the reason why I think you should use a prefabricated link
