This may be a dumb thing to do, but after crimping (using the more expensive ratchet type crimper) and inserting the connectors into their housing, I run some hot melt glue around the conductors where they enter the housing. This IMHO provides support to the conductors where flexing may tend to cause failure after a time.

I would be pleased of anyone could provide reasons why this is a stupid idea to put their argument on the reflector. We learn by mistakes and by discussion!
