They were usually soldered after crimping. I've also seen some that appear as though the wires were simply twisted tight together and then soldered. And if it's in a location that could be exposed to water, seal it up with adhesive lined heat shrink tubing. |
That's EXACTLY the kind of thing I was looking for! I just had no idea what to search for. I assume I can crimp them in place with the same crimper tool I use for the terminals?
I've heard solder both recommended and condemned. Some say it guarantees the permanence of the crimped connection. Others say it makes the wire brittle, and causes early failure. What's your view?
