Sorry the unnecessary confusion, i miss it completely, don't know the
answers.

I ended avoiding wires soldered on PCB, they easily break. If i have to
do it without a connector, i solder one pinhead (those used with
jumpers) and them solder the wire to it. And use those termo retractable
rubber tubes (don't know the English name) around pinhead, solder and at
least on 1cm of wire. Much work but this way it really lasts even with
wires movement.
