    Question Clarification on SLU-35 Lugs

    I was hoping for some clarification on a rule in the manual. In section 5.3.5 Electrical System Rules, part of rule <R54> reads:

    “The [Battery] connector must be attached with either the copper SLU-35 lugs provided in the Terminal Supply Bag or appropriate crimp-on lug connectors” (pg16).

    To clarify the rule, is a terminal like the attached image acceptable to use when it is, “first lightly crimped on the wire and then soldered,” (2006 FIRST Guidelines, Tips, & Good Practices, Rev A; Page 15; last paragraph) with a quality solder connection per the recommendations of the Society of Automotive Engineers specifications, or is it imperative that we use the solder-less lugs given to us in the kit?

    The terminal you suggest is an appropriate crimp-on lug connector.
