even a momentary break in the electrical connection between the diode and driver is enough to kill the diode so yes it would be bad to not use solder.But out of interest, would it be bad to not use solder?
You can also use swiss machine pin headers and they'll attach to the diode pretty well. You'll still need to solder them to the driver though. Practice soldering wires together first.
I thought we all agreed long ago that sockets are evil... Like you said, momentary disconnects cause instant death, which is why we've all sworn off sockets long ago... If that diode wiggles a little in the socket, poof, instant LED.
Odd advice, considering how long you've been here, or, do you know something about switzerland and their sockets that we don't?
