2. Insert wire in pin socket.
3. Apply soldering iron to the pin.
4. Wait a few seconds for the joint to heat up enough that you see the tinned wire start to flow.

What is the maximum number of electric wire terminals that can be installed on one stud?

Again, the ABYC recommends a maximum of four terminals on any one stud. There could in fact be more than four wires connected, as each terminal could have several small-gauge wires inserted into it.

Is soldering better than crimping?

Crimping offers stronger, more reliable connections than soldering. Soldering uses heated metal to join the cable to the connector. Over time, this filler metal will degrade, which may cause the connection to fail. Most electricians will agree that crimping is also easier than soldering.
