Excellent article!  In the sailboat world the myth of soldering crimped
connections is healthy and thriving, it drives me nuts.  But that is
what you get with a large DIY crowd and some dockside "experts"...

Thanks Steve.

John,

After looking around a bit, you really shouldn't solder a crimped
connection, you could very well be compromising the crimp itself, and
cause more problems than if you just left the crimp alone (assuming it
was a proper crimp to begin with). Here's a article from Jim Dunbar a
Product Manager for Terminals and Splices, and Senior Product Engineer
Tom Michielutti of Tyco that spells it out:

Look down at the bottom of page 4...

John,

I always thought that you didn't solder a crimped connection. But if
this is a requirement, then probably the best way to go about this is to
get yourself an American Beauty...

An American Beauty Resistance soldering unit that is, a model 10577
ought to do the trick:

There's even a Youtube video of it in action:

Ok, we need to solder the lugs (after crimping) for a 535MCM DLO Cable.

What's the easiest way to do this?



Thanks,



John
