I've used these PowerPole connectors for several years, both for mobile and fixed station use. I've never had a problem with these connectors coming apart, even in the mobile environment. I crimp the wire to the contacts using the West Mountain Radio crimper, and all crimps have been perfect. I don't use that little roll-pin however. I normally put a dab of superglue on one housing just before sliding the red & black housings together. I do this before snapping the wire/contacts into the completed housing. I've built somewhere between 100-200 connector pairs so far (I'm on my second bag of 100 pairs).
