BTF-LIGHTING 5 Pin Electrical Connector 22AWG IP65 Male Female Connector 7.87in/20cm Extension Cable for Car,Truck,Boat,Indoor/Outdoor LED Strip Lights/String 22mm Nut Big Size 5 Pairs

Works like it should.

I've bought lots of BTF products in the past and have never been disappointed in their quality. These are no different in that respect.However, I bought these connectors because I thought they would be compatible with my mini - xConnect trim lights. THEY ARE NOT Mini-xConnect Compatible. The thread diameter is different; the pin locations are different, and the wire gage is 22 AWG instead of 18 AWG. So, while they are great connectors, these will not work if you need the smaller "xConnect".Some of the other reviews indicate that the standard size BTF connector may fit the standard size xConnect connectors, but again these "BTF 3 Pin Small Size" connectors are not mini-xConnect compatible

The connectors appear to be of good quality. I haven't actually gotten to test them for waterproof connections yet.

Great for detachable connections

We’ve had these connectors installed on various outdoor equipment, including tractors and generators. The connectors have held together for more than one year. The connectors are pretty tough and seem to prevent corrosion. We hide the connectors from direct sun. They have held up in fairly high heat (100F) and low temps (-20F).

Easy to solder and provides a water proof connection. I’ve been using them for about a year on a solar panel to pond fountain without issue. I would purchase again.

- I can't fault the *quality* of these plugs; they are as described.- However, none of the descriptions are very clear unless you just happen to accidentally land upon the correct item. The reason I say that is, I need to make an extension with a PWM controller for some overly-bright LED string lights. The *wiring* is 22AWG. So I purchased these to match the wiring.- However, the *plugs* on these DO NOT FIT any of the transformer-to-cord plugs of that light string or any of my other various LED light strings. In order to get the correct size *plugs*, I have to get the ones with the 18AWG wire, which is larger. I don't know whether that size disparity will have a negative effect on the whole kit'n'kaboodle. So I thought about getting the larger size, but decided against it.- Frankly It should not be this darned difficult to find an extension for string lights, and for what standalone string light extensions cost, it would be cheaper to just buy a sacrificial set of string lights, which end up creating more unnecessary land-fill.- I'd just use a regular extension cord, except that I had wanted to include the dimmer, which must go after the transformer but before the section with the lights.-- There should not be such a big darned mystery about "extension for 2 pin single color LED outdoor string lights with transformer". I've seen a lot of comments by others who have been frustrated because things don't fit correctly, and so on.- In the end, it seems that the most straightforward thing to do will be to cut the original cord up near the transformer, and use these small-plugs-with-correctly-sized wire <!!!> to insert the extension that includes the dimmer.- I wish I'd known that in the first place instead of going bleary-eyed looking at page after page of unworkable cables.

I only needed a few of these, really just two, each four different purpose. I used one of them in my car to modify a wire connection for the radio, and the other one for a waterproof disconnect on the roof of my house. But all of the ones that I got came as described, with caps intact, and without any of the deformities that have been mentioned in some other reviews.
