Where in the NEC does it prohibit soldered connections?



In summary, no splice shall rely on solder for mechanical and
electrical connections per 2002 NEC 110.14(b)



IMHO: this means you can use solder to dress up the splice, or tin the
tips of stranded wire for easier wirenutting.

And IMHO, your first example is a "soldered connection". Does the 2002 code
actually prohibit the use of solder on any connection, or just as the sole
means for mechanical and electrical connection?
