Waterproof cable connectors

PC_Dave

Question for you knowledgable chaps - I’ve bought a sat nav for my motorbike which comes with a power cable that will connect to another cable from the bikes Canbus unit to allow the sat nav to be powered while the ignition is on, and stop drawing power when the ignition is off. The power cable is made of 2 cables, and the Canbus cable has the corresponding cables. I need a way of connecting them together that is waterproof and solderless.

Anyone have any experience with this?

How big are the cables? There are waterproof Powercons but they're not small.

Pretty thin, not sure of the exact size.

Thanks - might be a bit big. What’s the size like?

Those will be about an inch in diameter and 2 inches long.

If it's just for power and it's low voltage this should work

The connector @spark240 is rated for 240V so probably overkill

Any connection........even plat or crimp wire together just buy a cable shrink wrap kit and fit it over the connection with a decent margin.
