A new method of connecting wires to SMT boardsABSTRACT This paper describes a new method of connecting wires to surface mount printed circuit boards. This new wire termination system is more cost effective than any other known method to date. It occupies little real estate on the PCB and withstands the most demanding environment.The following subjects are discussed in this paper:• Short review of pros and cons of PCB wire termination methods• Description of the new method• Testing
