Cap'n you will have to give me a real good explanation of how any compression fitting on a wire is better than a soldered connection. I have been using soldered connections on everything I connect electrically for 40 years and have had much better reliability with solder than a crimped connection. I know for a fact that corrosion happens inside a crimped connection. Also the connector is much stronger when the wire is pulled on when the connector is disconnected. I remember the deal about acid core solder but that is known to damage any circuit and it's components but we are of course talking about rosen core solder. All circuit boards have their components soldered on.
I am very interested in your facts on your crimp versus solder connections or a link to your information. I will also search the web for this info as I am not aware of any new info about what you are stating. But that really would not surprise me as I do live in my on little world. http://ocw.weber.edu/automotive-technology...epair/soldering This only explains to correct way to solder a terminal on. OOokkay it seems the change from the good ole stuff to leadfree stuff is the deal. http://www.ko-ki.co.jp/technical/05.html I'll just stick with what I know works thank you. The only problem I forsee is the real solder availability. |
