Momentary Switch Wiring

[Maleficia]

I'll be using this switch in my current saber build with a NB board, and I was wondering if the wires would need to be soldered, or if the little screws would provide enough tension to make soldering unnecessary. Might sound like a silly question, but I want to be sure so I don't mess things up.

You can get by with just screwing it. Tin the end of the wire with solder really well so it makes a sort of tab to insert in the hole first. Instead of inserting bare wiring which could get frayed by screwing/unscrewing several times.

For testing purposes, the screws are acceptable. Once you have everything set up and working the way you want it, I recommend soldering for a more permanent connection.

The screws will work, but they could tend to work loose after a few hours of banging on other sabers.

Thanks guys!
