JF,
If it stays on the board as shipped hardware, it gets swaged.  Only
temporary hardware or test wires are "just" soldered.  Un-swaged terminals
are unreliable in dynamic environments and could be catastrophic if one came
loose.

Hi techneters,

We use post terminals for test points.  Is it necessary
to swaged them as shown in the mechanical assy section
of IPC-A-610?  Does anyone use them without swaging them
but just soldering?

Thank You!

JF
