I thought is was rule of thumb not to use solder joints in a vehicle because of the flexing and that only crimped joints should be used.
About the waterproof hot melt method that looks like it would be good for outdoor applications. I have lighting around my pond and the connections are exposed to the weather and oxidize and tarnish easily. |

I have lighting around my pond and the connections are exposed to the weather and oxidize and tarnish easily. Between the Western Union style splice, soldering, & shrink tubing, I don't think vibration is an issue. I've never had any problems whatsoever over several decades. If using a spade lug connector, lets say, you don't want to tin & then crimp because the tin solder will flow or deform with time & the connection will loosen. You want to crimp first & then flow solder into the crimp joint & then use heat shrink tubing. This is how Mercedes does it. |
