#1. A crimped connector is not a CAD weld.
#2. A CAD weld typically spot welds a stud onto a pipe or other metal structure IME.
#1. Agreed that " a crimped connector is not a CAD weld.
#2. No. " a CAD weld typically spot welds a stud onto a pipe or other metal structure
FYI: 1. Google CAD weld. There are plenty of very important information on what is CAD weld, how is it carried out in the field etc.,etc.
2. a) Advantage: permanent connection, long durability, very low connection resistance, withstand any weather or chemical attack, easily carried out at site with very low cost with special re-useable low cost tool, no bolts and nets except the chemical power.
b) disadvantage: unable to disconnect the join once CAD welded.
c) It is NOT a spot weld usually carried out by spot welding. See above FYI 1.
3. It is a connection process. There is no electrical symbol for it .
