I was taught that soldering is far better than crimp.
What's your thoughts?




As I may have mentioned I just retired from Enersys-Delaware which is a
major manufacturer of industrial batteries and I was in close contact
with the engineers at Anderson as we used their connectors exclusively.


Crimping is preferred to soldering.
Just make sure you get a good crimp. Most of their contacts require two
crimps.


Soldering is acceptable but you must absolutely insure you do not splash
any solder on the mating portion of the contacts. Since the contact are
silver plated, solder will degrade the connection.
