Turret terminals are designed for wrapping wires around a post before soldering, providing high mechanical strength. PC pins are typically used for direct board-to-board or board-to-wire connections in socketed configurations.
PCB Terminals & Interconnects Component Intelligence
Precision-engineered terminals for PCB and chassis-mount interconnects.
What are PCB Terminals & Interconnects components?
Terminals are fundamental electromechanical components used to create reliable electrical connections between wires and PCBs. Selection hinges on mounting method (solder, press-fit, or crimp), current capacity, and the physical interface required for your specific signal or power path.
How to Choose PCB Terminals & Interconnects Components
Selecting the right terminal requires balancing mechanical durability with electrical performance requirements.
Mounting Method
Determine if your assembly process requires through-hole soldering, press-fit, or surface-mount (SMT) terminals.
Current Rating
Verify the terminal's current-carrying capacity against your circuit's peak load to prevent overheating.
Interface Type
Match the terminal geometry—such as turret, pin, or receptacle—to your specific mating connector or wire gauge.
Material & Plating
Consider contact plating (gold vs. tin) based on the environment and the required number of mating cycles.
Mechanical Stress
Assess the vibration and shock profile of your enclosure to ensure the terminal maintains a secure connection.
