Soldered connections avoid corrosion, but can cause an overly stiff
joint that will break from movement or vibration. Aircraft have lots of
vibration, so they count on crimping ... and, typically, tin- or
silver-plated wire.
Soldered connections should be supported with heatshrink to avoid early
fatigue failure. All wiring connections, crimped or soldered, should be
dressed to avoid strain!
