The non-flaired end is inserted into a hole drilled in a circuit board and then flaired to hold it in place. Component leads are stuffed into the hole and soldered, the excess length on the bottom being trimmed off.

An eyelet is a small tube with one end flaired over. The non-flaired end is inserted into a hole drilled in a circuit board and then flaired to hold it in place. Component leads are stuffed into the hole and soldered, the excess length on the bottom being trimmed off.
