Description

This makes the pulling force unstable, and the fish eye terminal may be loose or fall off during use, thereby affecting the reliable connection of the signal; the contact area of the hollow fish eye terminal with the PCB board hole is small, and the contact is not sufficient. This will result in a large contact resistance, affecting the efficiency and quality of signal transmission, especially in high current or high frequency application scenarios.
