I use these as opposed to terminal blocks or twisting.

Maybe run another, parallel, experiment on top of your clothes dryer–
twist and untwist some wires a few times, every time you go in there…;)

OMG, Chris Kobel is another twister. Well, it’s out there now thanks
RickyLeaks. Like when I saw James D (one of the most technical savvythem in
people I know), twist the arming wires to his electronics and stick
a two stage rocket. I thought, OMG, my buddy is a bohemian.for you
So, perhaps shoe strings and belts would even been too complicated
guys. Yup, slip on shoes and elastic waist bands for you. 😊had
So twisting wires or switches…Can you twist and untwist two wires 300
times without a failure?
LOL

Full disclosure, I use switches on most of my dual deploy rockets. I
one micro slide switch fail, thank goodness for independent,redundant
electronics. I’m twisting wires because I haven’t bothered (yet) toto
replace the failed switch J

I hate the twisting wire technique. Yet, some people that I look up
actually do this. It’s just so barbarian. And, then they stick thewires
back in a hole in the airframe. Freakn crazy dude.correctly.
I imagine someone twisting some wires on a Falcon 9 before launch.
Hopefully they would read the technical manual on how to do it
If it was at JPL, they would have the technician twisting the wireswhile
two engineers watch. LOLmy

More and more, this conversation is encouraging me to keep twisting
wires together. Somebody mentioned it previously…is there a “right”way to
do it, to go along with all the wrongs ways I’ve tried?them
(I do try to insulate the twisted wires and tie a piece of string on
so I can fish them out of a breather hole to disconnect them after aDierking
flight…)

Sorry if there was a misunderstanding Ken. I don’t routinely have
soldering iron dwell on the contacts that long. Just trying tofigure out
potential failure modes for this switch. The objective is to provideprojects,
information to people that have already used these switches in
and maybe others that will use them in the future. Verses, “hey,don’t use
these switches.”they
For example: If someone is planning on using one of these switches,
could have good information about how to install them and solder theadvised
contacts. Also, and I think this is very important, they should be
on how to check the installed switch for problems before flying theirusing
project.
This helps not only for the case of using these switches, but for
other electronics as well. Having detailed information on thedevice, and
testing before flying a project is always a good idea.
