Connecting wires to these terminals?

--- Quote from: ataradov on May 19, 2019, 07:29:20 am ---I think those things are called turned terminals and are supposed to be soldered. There is no corresponding female connector.

And I'm not sure what to do about desoldering from the PCB, but if you google "turned terminals", you will find manufacturers of those things, I bet they have recommendations.

EDIT: Although Harwin has this text on their page "Turreted lugs available in 1, 2 and 3 wirewrap level versions.". So this implies that upper part is for wire wrap. But that seems strange without special tools.

Interesting post - I also get MarkF and Zero999's comments on wirewrap posts should be square. This would be one of those legacy things that I don't have any evidence where the description came from in the first place. I've been here at Harwin for 24 years now - and even back at the start in Design I heard others call these "wirewrap" with 1, 2 or 3 levels. Hence, when it came to compiling the databases on the website, and the catalog, I used the terminology of wire wrap. I suspect it has come about because the wire is best curled round the post a bit before soldering (as you can see from that video that was posted) - not a true wrap, but a bit of a wrap. But yes, it does need to be soldered to achieve the gas-tight joint - wire alone is not going to cut it.

I'm going to give this one some thought on how to improve Harwin's descriptions of these terminals, to modify or eliminate the phrase wire wrap - I'm always looking to try and improve the website where I can. Suggestions for better descriptions in addition to "turret terminals" will be welcomed  :-+

You've already all been helpful, thanks!  :clap:

They are called "Turret Terminals" in this video and another video I saw from Pace.
