I've been using the standard current clamp on an emonTx in my meter cupboard (outside house in dry) and noticed that the "headphone" jack type connector plug has started to rust up internally on the soldered contacts.
Anyone else have this problem? The clamp is working fine, but could indicate a potential failure in long term usage.
