Plugs are quite common on most electrical items, allows you to un-plug them in an emergency. I find them most usefull and will continue to use them  |
But lets face it Andy you see more come unplugged than u see blown up,
main reason for soldering they don't come unplugged in the race
and less resistance they don't produce heat through shorting
why do all the big lads do it ???
simple it gives you a edge, and at the speed top lads are at now it may be just the edge to win.
for Joe bloggs at club level,it may be not such a good idea
IE my speedos on fire, then well it would reduce damage but lets face facts once the MAGIC SMOKE has leaked its dead anyway
one resistor or the whole board(teesside) its still dead so unplugging make no difference there, your still looking for a new speedo.
so why not solder
