Crimping together with wire wrapping and spring clip systems are the preferred alternatives for the solderless connection of electrical conductors. In particular, crimped connectors offer several advantages such as: Gas-tightness and protection against oxidation and corrosive environments, High mechanical strength is inherent to the lack of alloys in the mechanical joint, Large versatility in terms of the wire diameters.
