Ah, no...The center connector on these is soldered to what appears to be a captive center pin.
View the installation video.

If I read it correctly, the original question was about solder or crimp center connectors

As a "personal choice", my hands are no longer steady enough to prevent
getting solder on the outside of the center pin so I'm relegated to using
the crimp type although I'd not seen any for the DIN. I would add that I can
now hold the solder with my left hand if a lot of movement isn't required.
I "would think" if the commercial guys are using crimp, it should be
reliable enough.
