Somebody mentioned the reliability of military connectors. One well-known military connector (Pattern 105 series) used in millions has a 500 insertions limit. Reliability is calculated from a change of resistance beyond a given limit at a given current, ambient temperature, etc. Most applications are designed not to go near the limit, so, 'reliability' as a statistical tool is limited. WE might consider an unreliable connector in a different way.
