Bill,

I can appreciate your desire to make a secure connection, but why would you
solder a crimp connector?  They are not designed for that type of
application.  In many ways a crimped connection is superior to a soldered
joint; especially if it experiences any amount of current.  Also, the solder
wicking into the conductor may have a deleterious effect upon its strain
relief at the connector.
