Why would it burn out? Burn outs happen from high current. You
don't get high current from loose connection, you get low current.

Ring terminals, hooked blades, bootlace ferrule or spade connectors,
IMHO if the terminal comes a bit loose you have probably got a burn
out on the connector and wire end anyway!



Loose connection gives you high resistance, so ALL the voltage drop is
across your 'bad' connection. So even though the the current will
reduce because of the higher resistance, most of the power will be in
the joint.
