Review on Uxcell A16010400Ux0482 Waterproof Connector Electrical by Josue Porter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to assemble, robust, compact, spare clamps available

These connectors have helped my bike's wiring to be cleaner and last longer. While I didn't need weatherproof connectors, these were the only quick disconnect multi-pin connectors I could find in a compact and rugged design. For cable lugs you need a good crimping tool. I used a Molex 63811-1000 Service Grade Hand Crimp Tool. This made crimping the wires nearly impossible. You may also need a suitable Weatherpack crimping tool to crimp the terminals onto the yellow seals. In the absence of a Weatherpack tool, any insulated terminal crimping tool can do an acceptable job (many common stripping tools have a built-in tool). The terminal push tool is another useful addition in case you make a mistake or need to rewire. Once you have the terminals and the weatherseals crimped onto the ends of the wires, they are very easy to snap onto the terminal blocks and latch. You then snap a white M-shaped piece of plastic into the back of the connector to separate and support the wires. Please note that these kits come without instructions. However, the process is easy to understand. If you're familiar with crimping and have worked with automotive connectors before, particularly the Delphi Weatherpack, you're all set. I can't speak to the actual weather resistance of these connectors, but at least they should be. It's hard to tell from the photo, but there's an orange rubber ring inside the "Dad" connector, as well as yellow rubber bagels. If you have it all together you can probably spray water directly onto one of them without wetting the grout. Update: If you need additional terminals, TE Connectivity part number 171661-1 for plug-in terminals should work; TE Connectivity 171662-4 for female connectors.
