Source for board terminals for ring terminal connectors?

Ragtop

I have been searching but not coming up with the right search term I guess.

I am looking for a solderable part for attaching these ring terminal connectors to the board.

I have used screw terminals in the past, but I am tired of wires slipping out or not easily going into the holes. I would like
to switch to using these.

Radio Shack has them or any Auto Supply store. (AutoZone, Pepboys)

Solder first, then crimp with pliers for some stain relief.

No, don't solder them first! Soldering creates a hard transition zone that invites wire breakage. Crimp connectors are most reliable and form a gas-tight connection when simply crimped with the proper crimping tool.

Ragtop,

Keystone has what you're looking for: http://www.keyelco.com/pdfs/M55-prod19.pdf

Phil,

I agree. The proper way to terminate is with the proper termination tool, but most people don't want to spend the $60-$80 for the correct tool. The $8.00 tools at Radio Shack don't seem to cut it. For a field repaid, I solder only the front of the terminal, just behind the ring, and crimp the back to alleviate the possibly of breakage.

Thank you both. So the search term for these things turns out to be "PCB Screw Terminal Blocks" which does pull up the other ones also on Ebay, but these types also.
