1 pin PCB wire connector housing options?

[ron_swanson]

Hello,

I'm working with a PCB board that requires a single wire connection that I'd like ot use some sort of  crimp wire housing to solder pin header connector configuration, but not having much luck finding anything suitable in a one pin configuration. 

While simply soldering the wire to the PCB is an option, I'd like something that allows for easy disassembly when needed without having to un-assemble the PCB  from teh chassis and unsoldering to get easy access to connected boards . 

This is low voltage / current application.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
Greg

That might work...  the tab terminal solder post might be a bit large for the PCB drill hole, but I could probably carefully file the solder post down to fit.

Thanks!

So use a 2-pin connector.

There are too many ways to skin that cat to list them all...

These are not the exact parts I use for the speaker wire connections inside my drum tuner but close enough. IIRC they were originally made by AMP but that company changed hands. (now owned by Tyco I think). 

The connector series is called "faston" ...  you solder the male terminal into the PCB and female end gets crimped to a wire.  These make a robust low impedance connection, perhaps better than you need.

Two-pin connector in mid-air.

If this is a one-off project you can use anything at hand - banana plug, RCA jack, 1/8" headphone jack, etc.

Hi!

Sorry, I guess I should have been clearer in my original post...

The PCB I have is a 3rd party design that I’ve populated.  The PCB has only one through hole connection in place on the design, hence the desire for a single solder pin to PCB connector.  I probably could just drill a second non connecting hole to use a two pin header or tab terminal, or even re-bake a custom PCB board of my own as the circuit is fairly simple and the PCB is small.  That said, finding an appropriate terminal is less time consuming and preferred.

I was stuck on finding a Molex type header, but a single pin tab terminal as suggested in the first reply to this thread is probably the best path here.

Sorry for the confusion and I appreciate everyone’s replies.  I have some one pin solder tab terminals in the mail that will likely fill the bill with a little filing and careful soldering. 

Cheers,
Greg

The faston pins I use only need one PCB hole...(I couldn't find the right picture easily).

If this is for a one-off build,  PM me with your street address and I will mail you a few mating pairs.  I use these in production so have more than a few sitting around....

So I use a two or three pin molex and take out the outer or other pins.

Yup, ditto. Works fine. Or you can take a Stanley knife to a terminal block - also works well.
