| Oct 29, 2019 at 15:04 | comment | added | K0ICHI | @Gallifreyan Yeah, that method didn't look to bad. My concern with it though, is how the cable may rub against the edge of the (last) PCB hole. With repeated movement, it could eat through the insulation. Also that way, the cable will come off the PCB perpendicular to the plane of the PCB. I would prefer the cable to be flush with the PCB instead. | |
| Oct 29, 2019 at 14:07 | comment | added | Nick Alexeev | @K0ICHI Can you describe your cable a little more? What's the outside diameter of the cable? Are you going to have a connector between the cable and the PCB, or are you going to solder the wires directly to the PCB? Are you going to conformal coat the PCB with cable attached, or separately? | |
| Oct 29, 2019 at 13:11 | comment | added | Gallifreyan | I find the method from the last image from your linked question is a good one: it's easy to implement, and it serves quite well. The detail to look out for is to have the wires really fit into the holes tightly. We used this method in a 220VAC-6VDC power supply on the mains cord. For that kind of use and strain it seems to work well. The more holes - the better, probably. | |
