I saw these in an aircraft the other day and thought the list might be interested in them. They appear to be designed to be secured with a small tie wrap. The owner was apparently using them as part of an electronic ignition harness after problems with previous connectors.

Sebastien;
Those are "standard" thermocouple plugs and sockets which are assembled using hollow tubular rivets. The installer in this case has taken advantage of those hollow rivets to secure the male/female connector halves to each other with tie wraps. This particular style of connector uses relatively low pressure contacts and are fairly easily disconnected as they do not afford must resistance to separation so the tie wraps are probably good insurance. Kink below is one source for these.

For use in an "ignition system" higher pressure, more positive, connectors such as PIDG style would be advisable.

Agreed. Additionally, the wire-to-connector
fastening is accomplished with little screws
and clamp plates. See:

I wouldn't use these for anything other than
their intended purpose . . .
