crimp on terminals for stranded wire

[Twoskinsoneman]

Good call. I checked out some of the specs for the 3M crimps and they all refer to stranded wire.

Once upon a time, when soldering was popular, it was common practice to solder crimps. On stranded wire it can cause problems because of solder flow up the strands, removing the flexibility of the wire. But, on solid wire, I have seen an uninsulated soldered crimp look like the best connection possible.

Yes you are right. I rarely solder stranded for power, only A/V stuff.
