I'm wiring some avionics that use shielded wire that needs to have the

shield or crimp a wire to the shield so that I can put a connector pin on it?
According to the "Acceptable Methods" manual (I can never remember the AC
number), the disadvatage of a wire solder joint is that it might break due to
vibration fatigue, but it is never acceptable to add connectors to extend wire.
I would solder the wire to the shield.
