the ones I have seen take the place of a crimp pin to be inserted into the connector to maintain moisture integrity. With the length, it looks like it would take the place of a wire in the water seal / strain relief, if only one wire were to be used.

Take a look at ebay auction 261315795465. It's a mil-spec connector and I don't see any way for the connector pins to come out. It looks like it's probably pressure tight. You can see the blue plastic pin in the third picture. It's almost like it has something to do with the rubber strain relief/enviro shield, but I dunno what.
