Soldering wires and/or components to mounted terminals adds a great deal of reality for production training. It is an effective method to illustrate and practice required stress relief for components and wires attached between terminals. It also allows the student to practice and demonstrate wire and lead “dress” as well as continuous run attachments.

This kit contains Bifurcated terminals that are attached to .125" laminate, so that it can be effectively held in a standard workmanship fixture.

Not only are these mounted terminals a good enhancement for training; they are the only effective way to accomplish some production principles.
