The widespread use of crimping is to avoid skills needed to use solder and the do the Job Quicker and cheaper. Normal crimping is not that good. I don't think I've ever purchased a wiring loom that was crimped... Nev

Aviation crip methods and tools (in spec) are reliable; no so auto motive single crips, the four point crimping like example molex are reliable though.

Yes we used to use these crimpers on some GM work, awful expensive tool so I doubt many armature builders would have one. I don't have one since it went missing along with all my Facom handtools, my Tech-ll scan tool and a lot more.

Armatures are usually soldered but I've seen the wires welded to work  more reliably at Higher temps. Nev

You continue to spread misinformation based on your opinion.

 

What is "normal crimping"?

 

Are you trying to suggest aerospace manufacturers are not doing wire looms properly simply cause they don't want to solder?

You do realise that there are robotic soldering machines that produce perfect solder joints every time. Yet the standards still require crimping.

 

You obviously haven't bought a Garmin, Dynon, Raytheon, Thales, Textron or any other aerospace loom.

 

If you are so certain that soldering is superior back it up with real evidence, not stories and hearsay.

 

I'll happily retract my statements if you can show me real world standards that support your argument.

Printed circuit boards are all soldered! Should we now be requesting that all PCB manufacturers revert to crimped connections!  😄
