Long live the SC and the Corolla.
It's not good near the beach. However, the auto companies go to some lengths to design the connector materials, pressures and enclosures to reduce issues with air contamination. If all is correctly assembled (big if) then those connections should last a good while maybe 15-20 years or more (that's a guess).
