WHITE PAPER: 5 Reasons the 2065 Connector is a Reliable Alternative to Manual Soldering

Due to today’s increasingly automated age, there have been innovations in wave and reflow techniques that are technically sound for certain types of components, but the manual process of soldering yet remains when it comes to connecting flying leads, i.e. wires, to printed circuit boards. When done properly, it is a tried and true connection method that has endured. In this paper, we will explore the challenges encountered when hand soldering, and the WAGO alternative – the 2065 Series Surface Mount PCB terminal block including:

  • Hand soldering is not repeatable
  • Soldering is hot and it can get that way quickly
  • Cold solder joints are unseen dangers
  • Too much solder is suboptimal
  • Too little solder is suboptimal

Even though installers have for many years successfully used hand soldering techniques to connect wires to PCB component boards, as our industry moves beyond the age of artisan craftsmanship, WAGO’s 2065 Series Surface Mount PCB terminal blocks offer a risk-mitigating alternative. By eliminating variability in installation, they are easy to use, compact, safe, clean, temperature-cycling resistant, reusable and reliable over the lifetime of the end product.
