Female quick disconnects vs. soldering microswitches

Pages: << < (3/6) > >>

Soldering isn't permanent (as has been mentioned), but it's certainly slower.  It takes a little longer to solder in the first place, but if you need to make a single change, you have to wait for the stupid iron to heat up.  Oh, and then you get to burn yourself on the wire/solder when you pull the wire out.   :timebomb:

Maybe that last part is just me.   :cheers:

Then you accidentally touch something with the side of the iron and melt it....

I've done that too.   :hissy:

Thanks for all the opinions and advice, I am going to give the disconnects a try

Blanka:

Soldering is faster and cheaper than quick disconnects. Its easier to solder than too clamp an insulated disconnect on a cable. And they can be pretty expensive too.
But the best: buy a harness for your controller. Let the Chinese do the work :D. The harness is already cheaper than cable + disconnects, and does not need any additional work too!
