Thank you everyone for your very informed replies on the subject.
'Endurance' and 'use' does indeed involve vibration. The units are used on off-highway heavy duty vehicles and forklifts. The contacts are not gold-plated and I am glad I didn't make that clear because the info forthcoming (Thank you JW) is quite relevant to a second product I am working on. What is clear is that it is best to sort out the process. Saves one a lot of grief later on. Your replies have provided the much needed leverage to get process control to take responsibility.
