No, thank YOU for the lecture.

You're right, my semantics were wrong when I said that soldering work-hardened the wires. Clearly what I was referring to was the flexing of the wires at the point where they are soldered.

I'm not sure I agree with your statement, "The highest state of the art, for electrical fittings on aircraft is a fitting which is crimped, and then soldered to keep moisture and possible corrosion out of the fitting." Even IDG feeder wires on aircraft such as a B767-200 or -300 aren't soldered. In fact, Boeing allows for three splices on one of these wires (keep in mind it is delivering up to 90KVA at 115VAC).

I certainly DO agree with your comment, "The low voltage output of the O2 sensor susceptable to losses at the electrical fittings." I realize the implied message is to use as few "connections" as possible (a "connection" being any mechanical discontinuity in a wire, compensated for by crimp, solder, or terminals).

BTW, what aspect of electrical industry are you in?
