Desoldering wires from a pcb that cannot be removed from an enclosure or heatsink can be a nightmare. You can of course use connectors, but I would rather solder my connections.
A friend of mine uses special little gold-plated things that he solders to the pcb. The wires are then soldered to these things (on the component side of the pcb). Five can be seen in the attached photo.
They can also be used to raise power resitors to keep heat from the pcb. See second photo.
My problem is we have no idea where you can buy them or what they are called.
Does anyone have any idea what they are called and where you can buy them?
Thanks.

Elliott Sound Products sells a very similar item, but it's just a straight pin with a flange in the middle so it won't fall through your PCB. Problem is, he only sells them if you also buy a PCB from him. See here: ESP - Complete Price List
order code is "PINS" at the bottom of the page.

These are of the same ilk... but not exactly what you are looking for:
Keystone Electronics Corp. - Split Type (Fork) Turret Terminals
E-Mark Inc. - Value Interconnect Solutions
If you find something exactly like you are searching for, please post.
Good luck

Hi,
What are you looking is at wire wrapping terminal mounting component. Check the link. There is another option to mount components. They call push in terminal.

PCB "solder" tags
First, I'd ask your friend where he gets his. In English they are called "PCB mount solder tags" or similar. I did a search and found some here. I guess you could use something like thin brass tubing for model making and create your own. They do seem pretty expensive.

all those Lötstift stuff tends to desolder themselves while soldering wires onto them. They need to be pressed firmly into the pcb for some additional mechanical strenght. Even then they can't take much heat.
If you expect several soldering/de-soldering cycles or unexperienced personal, I would recommend connectors or screw terminals.
