I don't recall ever having one "fail", but it's certainly a good idea to
make sure that the heavy multiconductor power cable is not hanging from
the connector.
The one on my L4B failed quite spectacularly. One of those things you never
forget. I'm still not sure why, but the working theory is that the connector
body absorbed enough moisture to flash over at 220 volts.
That's interesting..!! Never really thought about it, but the 400
Series connectors are only rated to 250VAC, so I guess it wouldn't take
much moisture. The REAL Cinch-Jones connectors are a true bakelite
body, while the Molex versions are a thermosetting plastic.
