Try cutting one open.

That tells you nothing about the metal... Again, cite a reference.

Do you know the colour of copper?

Good grief... Cite a reference..


I've asked several times, and he's avoided doing so. Mainly because
he's off on cloud nine, with no idea what he's talking about.

I suspect everyone else knows that bronze is much too brittle to use
as a crimp on connector, but Dave hasn't gotten that far yet.

How is a reference better than actually
having the item in hand. I say the reference is any piece of equipment that
has crimps in it. Anyhow.. Someone happened to cite the needed info..

It is possible that some spade connectors are made out of phosphor
bronze (especially the ones used in heating devices like stove elements)
but the discussion was about crimp lugs
