I found this specification sheet

suggests that these connectors are good for 200 mating cycles....
The RS232 connector on my K3 (S/N 00001) has already had a couple of
thousand mating cycles. (It gets more action than I do, for sure.) I do
this for fun while waiting for code to compile.
Seriously, in a couple of hundred years as a ham (well, it feels that
way), I've never seen a D connector with a bad or even loose
connection. That's why these things have been around since the
Pleistocene.
