Can I use Solid wire for rewiring sailboat if not WHY?
so, you are a hill-billy idiot.
I refuse to get into useless debates based on absolutely ridicules assertions...so I'm going to stop right here and avoid the name calling that usually comes next. But I can give many examples that will prove the statement below completely unfounded. I solder all of the wires on trailers that I build (and I build a lot of them) and they are subjected to lots of movement and vibration and never fail. Sometimes the wires will get pulled apart but not the soldered joint. Huge numbers of soldered electronic equipment in high vibration service routinely last a lifetime without failure. The mechanical connection is far more likely to loosen, that's why we have loctite and NyLocks. Anyway, my participation in this thread is ended. It is obvious that Jax is more interested in "winning arguments" than in meaningful posts and in reading some of his past posts, name calling is next. "JAXAshby" wrote in message ... Would you mind explaining exactly how a solder connection fails "under high load conditions" when the connection is soldered it lacks mechanical integrity. solder is soft and any chance of movement -- any, even walking on a floor near the equipment in a building -- loosens the connection until it eventualy fails. Even if after soldering the connection is clamped TIGHTLY with a mechanical clamp it eventually fails. If the connection is FIRST clamped TIGHTLY mechanically and _then_ soldered for corrosion protection all if right and holy. |
