Solder
is the right answer. The switch will withstand a moderate amount of heat, when
applied to the post/wire, but don’t let it “just cook.” I recommend you also use
heat shrink or silicon over the posts to keep moisture away from the wiring and
posts. Corrosion is not a serious problem, but the limit switch is of high
quality and should last a very long time if it’s protected just a
bit.

I am at the point of wiring up the nose gear limit switch on my IV and was
looking at options for those tiny posts. Definitely too small for a crimp
on. A female molex is too big. The female D-sub pins I have
seem too small. Did a search in the archives and did not
find anything. So what did folks do to connect to that itty bitty
limit switch. Did you simply solder it? If so, did the heat damage
the limit switch?
