[QUOTE="mr coastie, post: 493934, member: 24525"] You may solder a wire to a connection for current flow not structural integrity is a correct statement. I have tinned copper wires and braided them together for an in-line splice connection,solder that connection and sealed the joint with self sealing heat shrink tubing. Crimp connections of the proper size are great, I solder them as well and seal accordingly. Never had a failure doing them this way.!!! Retired Electrician Chief USCG… Type of connections are dictated buy use and location. The application must be considered and then select the appropriate solution for your needs. My two Lincoln’s worth. Hope I made sense… [/QUOTE]
