I'm coming across the need for some outdoor bulkhead style (aka panel mount) connectors. Mostly 2-4 pin, will be only connected when devices are in use. What are y'alls preference
For higher amperage stuff the anderson ones work well. For small the little powerpoles are pretty meh. Less room for the self wiping gunk and the panel mounts are really pricy for what they are
There are DT connectors, but I don't like there isnt a sealing cover/plug when not in use, seems for more permantant connections. https://www.delcity.net/store/Deutsch-DT-Flange-Receptacles-&-Gaskets/p_919324.h_919326
A ton of bulkhead SAE connectors are out there, they are cheap, easy and you can get replacements at TSC if needed Amazon.com
There are a ton of these chinese connectors. Amazon.com but I'm concerned about future availabilty and having to solder the pins instead of crimp is annoying.
What do yall use and prefer. I'd like to stock a few sizes I need for projects with spares
