Anderson does make a "retention clip" that snaps into the alignment holes that would be otherwise used for the roll pins. Might solve the issue you are having.

John, If one has to tape them together, the most likely problem is that they were not assembled correctly. Properly assembled APPs are very good and have an adequate amount of pullout resistance. The specification is 25 lbf - so yes, they will not withstand a 25 pound pull force, but that is quite substantial - at anything below that they should stay together. I have never had any problem with them, and I use them on all my DC connections. 73, Don W3FPR John Ragle wrote: > Aside from "Polish Solidarity" this long string of emails about the > Anderson variety only confirms my experience-based opinion that these > connectors are very poorly designed and should be avoided.
