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.
