Has anyone used or seen crimped connectors in USA wiring? I am curious
as to how widespread it is.


My old mobile home has them.

Ive currently got an open connection somewhere. I could well be wrong but I
suspect it's one of those connectors (plastic cap over pair of connected
aluminum wires). If I had known before I bought it...

A twisted connection isn't a crimp, and "mobile homes" are a
different situation completely - different code - and done as cheaply
as possible.
