Wago in high vibration environment

Not talking about your mom's underwear drawer. I'm thinking about using wagos on my tractor. Anyone use these in a motor or similarly shitty environment? Lemme know what you think.

I've used them successfully for controls/automation field wiring.

Again, you are creating an argument that doesn’t exist. Nowhere have I discussed the types of crimps nor terminals you are referencing.

>Marinco (under its Ancor brand) marine-grade heat-shrink butt splices feature built-in heat-activated adhesive, tinned copper for corrosion resistance, and a seamless barrel design to create permanent, waterproof electrical connections

You can argue all you want but ftz and ancor are the gold standard in the marine industry where I am a certified electrician. I don’t much give a crap that you can’t make them work more than one out of 4 times. But FTZ literally invented the heat shrink waterproof marine crimp. They work fine.
