Sounds like yours wont fall out then - which is an issue SOME people
have with APPs.
Lots of alternatives to using the pin, including not using anything
(they stay together pretty well) - to using hot-melt glue in the hole,
which quite easy to undo when you want to take the connectors apart
for any reason

I had never seen a Power Pole connector and there are no specific

My problem was inserting the small pin that holds the connector
together.
At first I tried pressing it in using needle nose pliers and it
spoinged
away in some direction. I found it behind the couch 5 days later
when it
refused to go into the vacuum cleaner. The second time my lady
found it all
the way across the room.
My solution was to align the connector halves, hold the pin in place
with
needle nose pliers, and whack it with a small hammer. Perfect!!
