Hey-

I'm looking for some of these posts that you find cement power
resistors mounted to on PCBs.

They're little hollow posts that are inserted through the bottom of
the PCB that allow the leads of the power resistor to feed through and
solder to the bottom. I assume they're designed to sink a little heat
and allow the resistor to be mounted sturdily above the board level.

Anyway, I (always) have trouble heating them up and removing all the
solder to install new resistors.

Anyone know what these are called, so I can poke around on mouser or
elsewhere for replacements?

Thanks for any assistance-

Kerry


I was recently repairing a 30 yearold amp and those pins look very much like
the electrical socket type connectors fitted bare, directly to pcbs to mate
with line plugs of the Molex / QM type connector range, in UK terms.
As far as the bellied/swaged ends to solder onto the board, very similar,
the active connector ends are more open than the sort for thin leaded Rs ,
but could be used for R standoff/pillars
