Looking at a controller with these connections. What keeps them from coming out? They're on the bottom of the box. I don't want something that ends up being a pain in the rear.
What keeps these from coming unplugged?

Think twist-lock.
Two out of three, anyway - and the important ones, I suppose.
The three pin probe receptacle (mini XLR?) looks like friction retention but the plug may have some kind of latch...
Cheers!

Oh....ok. It doesn't really look like the shape of the spades would support a twist lock mechanism. I used to work in a hospital where we had anti spark hubbel twist lock plugs and they were radically different (but also only 120V). Looking at them, the twist lock aspect was obvious.
The probes on mine have a quick disconnect type plug end. You have to pull back on the outer ring to disconnect it.
Those are L6-30 power plugs, the L stands for locking
They lock in place when twisted.
The temp probe has a small detent that locks it in place

Cool, think I'll pull the trigger on that controller then.
One more piece of the puzzle falling into place...
