Thanks, Andy, guess where I have (part of) my wisdom from ... (from the german wiki, though). The point I wanted to make: a connector with tinned prongs costs 5 cents, with gold plated ones 6 cents. Very little difference, measured on the cost of a refrigerator. Same with machine control systems: never take compromises on the quality of electronic elements, it doesn't pay.
I found out now that, for instance, a few years ago, Siemens went back from electronic to mechanical thermostats (with a capillary pipe) in their refrigerators. Why?
