I don't think there's a spec. I've only ever just tightened the hell outta those. If they're the bolt-head ones and the head snaps off, well if it's on the cable it'll still stay there. If theyre the little inset screw ones, i get those as tight as possible and often have to grinder them a little to fit in a throttle.
anyway, tight as possible and even broken is OK
what do ya do when u take it off...
line up the flats, drop the pin in, snug it up, and then whack it, snug, whack, snug whack, snug.
if you're taking it off it's because the cable's not good anymore and you use a new one
they're not like an on/off kinda part, it's just a makeshift way to create your desired cable lengths
