gEDA-user: OT: Wire to board crimps?

[Peter Clifton <pcjc2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Figured someone here would know...

I'm looking for some crimp terminals which terminate the end of a wire,
and allow it to be soldered neatly into a PCB. Kind of like the ones you
find on the output terminals if you dismantle a PC power-supply. I'm
looking for something to fit smaller cables.

I don't know what these crimps are called, nor whether they are
available in small sizes.

Basically I just need to terminate 8x data cores to a PCB on a 0.1"
spacing without using a mating connector. (The assembly is to be resin
encapsulated, and I don't like the idea of having a connector in there).

Until the board is potted, we need to do testing, and I don't like the
risk that connector strands snap off and short to the board, adjacent
wires or that the connection is weakened before we finally pot the
assemblies.

Any ideas?
