Word for making a bad connection?
It should not actually damage anything unless its heating up due to
resistive or sparking effects, or if it happens to be an inductive load of some kind which can make the sparking worse. One of the most annoying times I encountered this was on one of those 4 way socket bars where everything seems to have relied on riveting different materials together or the actual sockets themselves relied on the spring effect of the contacts to actually make contact with the bus bar inside. Terrible design and tended to go intermittent if you screwed it to a slightly non flat wall. Brian -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...
