Re: How does your team crimp terminals?

I find that good crimps are easy to make with a good equipment. All the connections our crimps secure to are also very reliable. We use flanged fork connectors so that there is little chance of wires coming out. This makes for very reliable connections all over. I find that usually students have a lot harder time making reliable solder connections than crimps. Crimps are also faster and can be done without waiting for a iron to heat up. This makes crimps our favorite way of making connections.
