About half of my 12/3 cables are S cable, not SO, with square bodied Olsen stage pin connectors. A fair number of these cables have been in service longer than I've been in the business.
Gaff it?

If your connectors are that loose, you should spread the pins whether you gaff or not. While gaffing will hold the two connectors together, it will not keep a loose pin from arcing. Spreading the pins, so you have a nice, tight electrical connection will.

Stage pin connectors today have THREE pins, Mr. Terry.I've never heard of friction tape to hold connectors together, only for hodding. Perhaps gaffers tape had not yet been invented?
Of course, I know pin connectors have three pins--that's why you have to drill a hole in the female to make them work right.

That takes far too much effort and time. Much easier to just rip out that silly middle pin.
