Terminal types

[mr henderson]

I crimp mine with a decent ratchet, then give them a bit of a tug afterwards to check they are secure. Only time I use solder is when I need to join cables mid-length.

Insulator will depend in the circumstances, but I like to use the rigid black pastic tyopes that go on afterwards. If I can't use those due to space, or small terminal then I use heatshrink.
