Re: To Goo, or Not to Goo - soldering?



        The data Bill provided seems pretty conclusive.

        Here's my question.  Could one decrease  the limitations of the
hammer crimper by heating the crimp and wicking in solder?  I doubt you
could ever completely achieve as conductive a connection as a really
good crimp.   You're trading a Cu/Pb,Sn/Cu interface for what would
otherwise be a high pressure Cu/Cu interface.
On the otherhand, the solder join probably has a greater surface area
then you could ever hope for with even a hex a crimper.

        Does anybody have data on this?

Peter
