how to wire pushbutton with spade terminals to an SMD pcb?
« on: March 20, 2019, 02:07:16 pm »
Have been looking at reasonably chunky pushbutton switches (with 12 or 16mm mounting holes) and it seems that they tend to come with spade terminals.

Browsing female spade connectors it looks like they are designed for pretty massive AWG (eg 10-20 AWG).

If the objective is to wire to a neat little SMD pcb simply in order to effect the grounding of a pullup resistor on button press, what is the best way of doing this?

Is one obliged to use a massive wire and then some kind of terminal block (screw?) on the PCB?

Is there a trick for doing all of this with skinny 28AWG wires coming from a JST-SH connector on the PCB?

Am all ears!

ps the pushbuttons (4) will be in a plastic case and are supposed to be waterproof / splashproof hence not opting for on-board pushbuttons that peer through largish mounting holes. Unless there's a way to do that.....?
