Wiard has 300+ modules in the field now. Some are more than 3 years old. No
problems have appeared relative to the Alpha/Xicom pots or KK connectors. A
couple of pots have worn out, but as I say, replacing them is a snap.

I also used gold plated KK connectors in an Aries sewer inspection camera
where we were moving 6 amps through the 0.100 KK types. That has also held
up just fine.
