Sealed Connector Recommendation?
Hey folks, hoping for a bit of advice. I'm doing some electrical mods on my motorcycle that involve snipping off OEM connectors and replacing with aftermarket so that I can adapt a MOSFET style voltage regulator.
I'm looking for recommendations on aftermarket electrical connectors that are: 1) Sealed/weatherproof 2) Readily available 3) Can handle 10 to 12 gauge wire OK if I need to buy a pin/connector crimp tool. Figured someone in this section might know a bit about electrical connector options. Thanks! |

I would go to an auto parts store and ask them what they have.

Are you trying to splice wires?
Go with some butt or bullet connectors and shrink tubing. |

Heat shrink tubing was made exactly for this purpose. Don't skimp on the length though to insure a good seal.

Thanks for the comments guys. Understood on heat shrink, but I'd like these to be serviceable connections that I can easily unplug.
Found some Tyco connectors on Amazon that look pretty solid. |

Weatherpak makes excellent waterproof connectors we use them on busses all the time.
