While the snap in plastic clips do a nice job of keeping them
mated, the roll pin hole in the connectors is also a perfect size for a
4" zip tie, if you want to be /sure/ it doesn't go anywhere until you
let it.
I also have had good experiences with the PowerPole series; they
tend to stay put, are self cleaning, and genderless is a huge plus. I
have seen more traditional DC coaxial connectors fall out than PPs.
And I've seen a lot more cracked Molex connectors, or Molex pins backed
out of housings. As common DC connectors go, they're just fine, and a
lot easier to work with than some of the newer alternatives.
