I have a project where i have 8 LED's scattered around the front panel of my enclosure. It is not feasible to have the LED's mounted on a circuit board as the control panel is huge, at the moment with my prototypes I use telephone wire (cat 5) soldered to the circuit board that takes the power to the LED's where I simply just twist the wire on to the legs of the LED's and apply a bit of solder.
I'm getting to the point where I would like to 'mass produce' (a run of 100 with a vue to more if all goes well) my project.
Q) To me just twisting the wires to the LED's like described seems errr 'unaccepable', what I have created is an audio product, but would a distributor take on my work with 'shoddy' wiring?
Bearing in mind this is my first project, I'm just not sure to what 'standard' I should be making these connections.
Am I just worrying about nothing here? At the end of the day the connections are solid enough.
If not, is there another more 'pro' way of connecting? some sort of crimp clip?
