Crimp and solder contacts.

Also written Crimp contact, Solder contact, Pins and sockets.

Should connector contacts be crimped or soldered?

Contacts are the metal pins and sockets inside a connector, fixed to the wire by crimping or by solder. A crimp needs the maker's tool set for the wire gauge, but every joint it makes comes out the same. Solder needs no special tooling but rewards skill, and each joint must be inspected on its own. Crimp for repeatable work, solder for the one-off repair.
