Just in case you missed it - high resistance connections particularly harm high power applications where the total power loss at the connection is proportional

Just in case you missed it - high resistance connections particularly harm high power applications where the total power loss at the connection is proportional to the resistance multiplied by the current squared.
When you are operating near the threshold for the maximum allowable current draw on a single circuit (nominally 15A in USA), this additional power loss can make your device or product fail certification.
This feature is called self cleaning contacts. It is a well known technique in the connector world. Which this tuber is not a part of.
