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


While personal preference plays a large part in this choice, it is
perhaps worth noting that autombile and truck manufacturers,
aircraft manufacturers, and even aerospace industry, including the
space shuttle builders among others, all crimp rather than solder
their wire connectors and terminals.

I've taken a lot of military surplus and aerospace electronic equipment
apart and the soldered connector pins always had heat-shrink tubing on
them as a strain relief but the wiring harnesses were always designed so
wires were not pulled at a 90° angle. ^_^
