Listers,
Anything wrong with using machined pins for splicing 20-22AWG wires with a
heatshrink cover? Just seems neater and quicker than soldering or butt
splices..

Obviously the "weak" link is that heatshrink offers less grip on
the pins than do connector bodies . . . but it is surprisingly high.
I just tried it with some clear heatshrink and found that tension
on the wires stretched the shrink and the pins did
not slide inside the heatshrink. I put several pounds
of pull on it causing the pins to disengage slightly but when
I relaxed the pull, the shrink slowly returned to original
length and full engagement of the pins.
Do some experimenting with the materials you have. Odds are
it will be fine.
