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.

Maybe in Canada but mobile homes in the US (AKA HUD models) follow the
NEC. If they title them as an RV, then it is the wild wild west with
nothing but industry standards and perhaps some CPSC involvement. The
NEC stops at the pedestal they plug into.
