IDC vs. Crimp vs. Spring Connectors
jpanhalt:
NASA does not seem to allow an exception for terminations. I think I know what you mean by circular indent type, but doesn't that induce work hardening and a breaking point for solid wire?
tooki:
I’m sure it does to an extent. I can certainly understand why NASA would prohibit it since they’re the ultimate high-risk high-vibration environment. For the most part, the question of crimping solid wire is irrelevant since we rarely use solid wire in electronics any more. And certainly crimping solid wire is vastly less forgiving than crimping stranded wire, not that I would call crimping a particularly forgiving technology to begin with!
