Folks I put an item in "The Doctor is IN" in Aug 2008 QST, p 63, on hints for assembling APP connectors. In addition, there is a photo of how I keep stressed Powerpoles together using a 1/16 inch tie wrap. In addition to keeping the connectors mated, it also keeps the pairs together as does a roll pin, but avoids the possibility of a roll pin falling into something.
The downside is that if you want to disconnect the the connection, you need to clip the tie-wrap. OTOH, I haven't priced them, but I bet a bag of tie-wraps is cheaper than any special clamping arrangement -- and probably more compact. GL & 73, Joel Joel R.
