If you're soldering, that does a better job than any crimp.


It doesn't do as good a job with stranded wire as a good crimp. When
stranded wire is soldered, some solder wicks up into the strands which
effectively makes it a solid wire for a short distance, and therefore
as vulnerable to flex fatigue and failure as solid wire would be.

Crimped connections are used in aerospace applications.


Yep. That is the standard response by people that have no
idea what a crimping system is all about. I used lugs and
tools by AMP and Burndy and several others in the business
on electronic equipment for the millitary for many years.

This is what's wrong with questions and answers on the net.
What is level of "expertise" of the responder and the
understaning of the "asker" ?
