Best 2 pin waterproof quick connect

[bedn0009]

Hi. I have a 2 wire attached to a threaded quick disconnect for my snowblower. What's the best type of connector for this type of application. 12 v, goes on and off somewhat frequently.

That threaded connector is kinda nice. More vibration proof. Less water and crud in the coupler. But, if you want something quick n dirty, they make these 2 pole quick disconnects, like the flat trailer plugs.

NATO slave cable.

Second vote for the two pin trailer style "SAE" connectors. They are simple, robust and just need to be kept greased.

I'll third the SAE style connectors for a quick and dirty on and off. They're heavily utilized in the battery tender world so I'm sure would be perfect for your application as well.

Deutsch or a Weatherpack.

Maybe it's just my application, but I had issue with those vibrating loose. I ended up replacing the junction with a Deutsch connector.

Take your pick. I like the MT-090 series and use them motorcycles (dirt & street) and vehicles.

They're fine for carrying battery current to an incandescent lightbulb, but even when greased, they corrode quickly, particularly when exposed to salts (something you may encounter in the fight against snow), leading to sketchy connections. If this is powering an LED light, you WILL get flickering eventually.

This is much better.

I end up with metripack and weatherpack stuff.

Either of which can seal around the wire, and seal around the female to male connector cavity.

I would prioritize ease of disconnect instead of ripping a finger open, availability of an all-parts kit, terminal release out the back end vs. out the connection side (easier to replace a connector shell,) and larger gauge wire. Weatherpack is probably easier to release terminals with a paperclip or bic pieces.

Best I'd suggest a metal MS (military standard) style connector most likely Amphenol or Cannon. Also plastic versions available (which may be what you have). You can get them threaded or bayonet (1/4 turn) mating. I'd use the bayonet style due to how many cycles of mating/unmating for this use.
