Module 6. Materials & hardware

The main reason why crimped joints are preferable to soldered joints is

  • the quality of crimped joints will be constant.
  • no flux is needed.
  • there is no heat required.

Explanation

The principal advantage of a crimped joint over a soldered one is that it is a cold process needing no heat, avoiding heat damage to insulation and removing reliance on flux and operator skill for a reliable connection. The consistency benefit follows from this but the defining reason is the absence of applied heat.

Gibbo280490 asking:

I would say the answer should be the quality of the crimped joints will be constant? is there anything to back up the heat answer?
