Hi
Some nameless cretin decided it would be a good idea to streamline
the selection of signal cable connectors on a current little device
I'm playing with.

We have K type two pin connectors for everything carrying digital or
analogue signals, apart from thermocouples of course because this is a
"quality job" using PT100,s, none of your cheapo thermocouples here!

Of course the fact that the K type connector cannot accomodate the
compensating cable is a different matter entirely :-)

There are a gross of possible problems, which will all become obvious
on first use, but my main concern is the fact that these connectors
are in a damp environment and the chrome/ nickel- Aluminium/ nickel
pins connected to copper wire will I'm sure corrode to a state that
will produce problems in weeks or months.

Has anyone come across an instance of copper cable being used with
these connectors?

I would guess that ist isn't a frequent configuration as I am still
waiting for a reply from the supplier.
