); SAEximRunCond expanded to false Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course, any method is only as good as it is implemented. Crimping gets rid of a number of chemistry problems, and creates few problems in return.
One problem with crimping coax cables is that crimping the braid is usually done against the plastic (term used generically) insulation between the center conductor and the braid. If the plastic softens, or cold flows (typical with Teflon), the crimping pressure will drop over time and eventually the connection between the shell and the braid becomes loose. The better crimped coax connectors have a sleeve that slides under the braid against which the braid is crimped. These are considerably more reliable. The crimping on the center conductor is typically more reliable, if done right.
