Subject:      Soldered Connections
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

I have had good luck crimping the joint and then filling in any open spaces between the wires and between the wire and connector with solder. Also using a shrink tube adds to the joint protection. This is what I do for wiring on my sailboat. In the marine environment we use fully tinned stranded wiring which is a bit more expensive but this is a good method if you want to never worry about it again.

I would think either crimping or soldering done correctly and with the proper materials for the job would be satisfactory.
