No scientist here but dosen't brass if not at least gold plated tend to corrode esspcially in a wet/ humid climates way faster then the lenght of a minute exposed 12 gu at the binding post or directly through the hole if it's a true 5 way, also mentioned for what ever reason they can loosen up.2chl- Adcom GFA- 555-Onkyo P-3150v pre/amp- JVC-QL-A200 tt- Denon 1940 ci cdp- Adcom GFS-6 -Modded '87 SDA 2Bs - Dynamat Ext.- BH-5- X-Overs VR-3, RDO-194 tweeters, Larry's Rings, Speakon/Neutrik I/C- Cherry stain tops Advent Maestros,Ohm model E

Brass is funny stuff, an alloy made of copper and zinc. Since it doesn't contain iron, it's a non-ferrous metal and cannot rust but...it will corrode over time. Tarnish is another way to put it. I suspect from the lack of weight of the jumper strips, at least on my speakers, that though they may contain some brass, I suspect some other metal(s) as well. None of it very expensive and perhaps not as conductive as one would like them to be.
