Questions & Answers
In my opinion, these connectors are water-resistant, not waterproof. Moreover, the wire gauge is 16AWG at most, which is in no way sufficient for attaching an 8 gauge load to them. (There is a 40 amp limit on 8 AWG).
It is okay to use heat shrink make/female bullet connectors as long as you don't take the speakers out all the time.
As for the waterproofing, I'm not sure what the question is, but if asking about the waterproof connection I would say it can't take pressure washing or being submerged in water it's water resistant only
In any case, I just stripped each end with my wire stripper that has gauges for each size. The 18 gauge stripped the covering without cutting the wire, and the 20 gauge removed it without cutting the wire. Each test was done several times, since I cut a few strands with 22 gauge markings. It was very difficult to fit the 18 gauge wire in the 18 gauge hole and the 20 gauge hole after the wires were stripped It was a perfect fit for hole number 22. They're being used as a connection between my motorcycle's aftermarket handlebar headlight high beam/low beam switch and the heavy duty relays that carry the light current in 14 gauge wire. Rather than carrying heavy current to the end components, I plan to use them more for other connection types. Thank you for your help.

They are great. One thing that would have made it better is if they came with grease to ensure that With sealed butt splices, they were easy to install. Standard butt splices will not be waterproof, so I will not recommend installing them with them. The sealed butt splices would help ensure they are installed correctly if they come with them.
My company, the world's largest connector manufacturer, hired me for 25 years to design and manufacture electronic connectors. have not had the opportunity to use any of these connectors yet, but the design of the connector and its seals look solid, something I would be happy to use. Testing can only determine whether the seal performs well, but it should only be evaluated when it is used or tested.
I ordered and they were delivered on time. It has been 10 months since I used them to hook up some lights in my grill and have not had any problems with them! problem I have is that sometimes it is very difficult to connect the male to the female, (connecting the male to the female). It has worked well for me but they have all required a little more muscle and I've always been able to disconnect and reconnect them as I definitely recommend it!.
The connections should be tight and waterproof, and the wiring should be of a decent gauge to handle most There was one thing that could have made this set better, and that would be to have some connectors of heavier gauge for higher amp applications, offering a better mix for applications requiring higher current.
For a lawn tractor I have extra lights and their use is on my tractor The snowblower is equipped with a portable cab and works in the winter. A & B An extra light. As long as I unplug them when the season is over, the connectors work fine.
When pushing the two halves of the connector together, one thing to watch out for is that on one side the wires tend to back out of the plastic housing slightly. All you need to do is push them in and everything will be fine. I spent an hour battling with a connection problem before I found this solution. Although I wouldn't rate it less for this, it would still be a good movie. Additionally, I love the variety a pack like this has to offer.
So far, no issues, seem to be good quality. Used them for some under-car wiring and they are working well. The wires were not pulled out of any or wired backwards in any of the ones I received.
Even so, there were enough quality components for the price.
