It really is fairly amazing what current can be handled by a relatively small 
pin, as compared to the huge Cinch-Jones things.  I use ordinary DIN plugs for 
some of my control cable disconnects.  The contacts are rated for 1 amp at 100 
volts, or thereabouts.  My C-J plugs require fairly constant attention with 
CAIG anti-oxidation stuff, or they get flakey in places like rotator pot 
connections - low voltage low current.
