I agree with Don.

If the connector is not installed in the shell properly they are easy to 
pull apart.  If you don't feel a click when you put two together 
something is wrong.

I use them with my rigs as well as my electric powered remote control 
airplanes.  My biggest plane generates about 7kw (7000 watts) of power 
and significant g-forces while flying, never a problem.
