I'm wiring up a CAN Bus for a Garmin G3X system the Garmin-recommended way by soldering a short pigtail to the two CAN HI wires and another to the two CAN LO wires as they pass by a device. It got me curious about pins. Are the machined, 4-crimp pins really that superior to the stamped sheet metal ones? I could easily crimp both wires into one of the latter and save a ton of time. It's an academic question as I'm already well down the road to getting this all soldered up, but I'm curious.

'that superior' isn't quantified.
I don't think any open barrel d-sub
pins have made it to a 'qualified
products list' for military procurement.

At the same time, millions of miles
of wiring in all manner of over-the-road
vehicles has been terminated in open-barrel
pins for decades. I don't think you'll find
a machined pin called out in any
vehicle's bill of materials.

The bottom line for BOTH technologies
is driven by tooling and craftsmanship.
Applied with adequate tools and skill,
the two technologies are essentially
interchangeable.
