As I said in the private reply to you (this is the third message from you I've received on this): Actually, Robert, the properly applied crimp termination provides a better electrical connection and mechanical connection than does a soldered/crimped connection. The force applied to the crimp barrel and the wire creates a weld at the molecular level that soldering does not and can not do. Also, anytime you heat metal as you do in soldering, you weaken it. > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert [mailto:rgshauger@yahoo.com] > Sent: Saturday, May 24, 2003 02:29 > To: force12talk@qth.com > Subject: RE: [Force 12 Talk] Answer to Kens' post- > > > There are actually two types of connections.
