Review on SZJELEN SP13 Waterproof Panel Mount Aviation Connectors Plug Socket IP67, Electrical Cable Wire Connector (2pin, Panel Mount - Plug Male & Socket Female) by Brooke King

I'm mixed. Of course, it's a bit flimsy, lacks instructions, and has a few annoying bugs. And it's not that cheap to make up for. But on the other hand, it's actually quite nicely designed and built. You just have to take the time and care. Almost worth the price. During installation, I almost immediately stripped the threads (between the connector and the barrel) as I hand-tightened it. As expected, it only got worse with repeated attempts. I wanted to use this for 110v so I was concerned it would be unsafe as pulling on the plug would expose live wires. Until I realized that I had to tighten the nut over the threads to expose some more threads for a lot of extra grip. Perhaps a veteran wouldn't have made such a mistake, but a few simple instructions might help. That and the fact that I was able to damage the threads with light pressure out of the box is just...disappointing. Mainly because the rest of the design is pretty nice and the build quality is. actually pretty good. It's not suited for fighter jets or medical scanners, but it's definitely not junk and it's more than reliable enough for what most people will throw at it. A little wobbly in places (end cap screws) but not where it's really important for safety or performance. Very easy to solder, many other nice touches when installing. No crimping tool! And it looks like it will keep out much of the weather-related dust and water from getting in. (I wouldn't soak it, but it might actually work, for example.) The connection is held in fairly tightly without the use of a screw, which is great for easy one-handed removal. And it's light and compact. These factors were important to my use. I will probably not buy again: mainly because of the price. But I would be _tempted_ to. Eight dollars is not much 😏
