The telecommunications has been crimping, in some cases (such as power
and ground connections) for a long time, and in others (such as BNC's
for DS3's) for the last 5 years or so. Incidentally, just about all the
T1's/DS1's in this country (at one time) were all wire wrapped.
Now I think we should get a discussion going about stitching cabling vs.
tie wrapping. (Just joking, a little flame bait left lying around)

Also, MIL-C-39012 has many qualified N crimp connectors.

for your reading pleasure.
Further these crimp RF connectors appear to be qualified for use on the
International Space Station from what I can tell (lots of reference
links to follow).
As I said in the initial post, you must use the correct tool and
connector and if you do it properly the result will be a high quality
connection.
And, it isn't a friction fit -- it's actually closer to cold welding.

GSFC-733-HARN-01, Rev C, July 2003, DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING STANDARD
for ELECTRICAL HARNESSES (GFSC is Goddard Space Flight Center) says:
"4.20 Conductor terminations- The preferred method of terminating
conductors is with a crimp termination. However, where necessary,
solder terminations are acceptable."

seems I have been corrected,
friction contact is better than soldered connections............

I value my life more than that.
