There is a lot of talk about how unreliable a crimp on connectors are and how there subject to corrosion. If that were true then why does every motorcycle, car, truck boat manufactures use crimp on connectors on all there wiring?
There crimped on and no type of corrosion material is used. So why do so many say there unreliable?
If left untapped or heat shrink material is used to keep out moisture was used then what moisture does get in, it's trapped and cant get out and dry properly.
You can paint a board on the top side and leave the rest of the board unpainted, and it will last longer then if you painted the whole board 100% on all sides.
the reason is moisture will find its way in and if the paint keeps it trapped in the wood it will rot 10 times faster.
I would think electrical connections would do the same thing.
