    yeah the only time you will find soldered connections here either is in low voltage applications I've seen some silver brazed connections in 4300v panels and in 600v DC always backed up with another means of securement.

    My preferred after a connection is tightly twisted, if the wire is stranded I like to solder as well then these are crimped over the connection
