[sdiy] 0.100 pin header reliability.

[Dave Kendall]

Hi All.

Do any of you have an opinion on the long-term reliability of 0.100  
connectors like these;

Interconnect/Straight-pin-header/28953

They make assembly much easier and neater (at added cost), but how good  
are they in the long term? I'm not so bothered about the number of  
reliable make/break cycles, just whether they generally hold good once  
installed, and whether vibration from handling or road use causes any  
common problems. I once had an Ensoniq EPS that had known issues with a  
power multipin corroding and causing failures years ago (when ensoniq  
actually *had* a service centre in Putney, London, UK)

Anybody got any real-world advice?

Thanks in advance,

cheers,
Dave
