Bill,
We have put turret terminals in both plated and unplated holes in the past
with equally good results.  However, you probably will not get a solder
fillet topside due to the swaging.  Don't need a fillet topside really, due
to mechanical retention.  We tend to stay away from this lately due to the
xtra labor cost of swaging.

Good Morning:

I am curious to know if there is a "right" way for the following:

Standard .062 thick, two sided board where turret terminals are mounted.
The
boards are being soldered to NASA-STD-8739.3.

The active circuitry is on one side of the board. (on the side that the
terminal is swaged).

For the turret terminal locations only....

Does the "correct" board design call for a pad on one side of the board
without a plated thru hole and no topside pad?

Or.... Can you have a standard plated thru hole when mounting terminals?

Any and all responses appreciated !
