Paul,
Back when I worked for the army in the electronic instrumentation
field, I ran into a guy who was a tech rep for a company which sold
crimp-on connectors and crimping tools therefore. He had some brochures
on crimpimg. These missives had it that a quality crimp involved a
pressure-weld situation where the metals in the connector and the wire
actually intermingled. The claim was that this action produced the
lowest possible crimp-joint resistance. The brochures went on to say
that because of this, the right connector, crimped at the right prassure
for the wire in use was very important. Your post called that from
memory. Ring a bell?
Cheers,
CR
