What is acceptable ways of soldering wires directly to PCB?

1366 1 Aug 27.2019, 18:02:27

I am designing a PCB which will have wires going to a front panel. It will only be produced in small numbers. The device is designed to last 10+ years, hence I want to decrease risk of wire failing at the solder joint (fatigue, lifting pads, etc.)
What is the best way of soldering wires directly to a board except using turrets? Is there some industry guideline for this?
In IPC-A-610 (standard for final electronic assemblies, IPC-A-600 is for circuit board manufacturing) I can not find any description of how one shall solder a wire directly to a PCB, it only covers jumper-wires or wires soldered to turrets (see attached image for turret) as far as I can see.  

Perhaps I am missing something?
