The super cheap waterproof ones are ok
Deutsch DT are my favourite clones are decent enough.
Current capacity can be determined by the wire size it will take

Ive used TE superseal connectors.
Upto 6pin terminals are widely available, think they go higher pin count. 15amps I think.
There is also econoseal, higher pin count but less waterproof.
Important to use genuine parts though with a quality crimping tool.
Cheap stuff on aliexpress, amazon and ebay is crap.

Thanks guys. Immediate use is to replace the 2-way spade terminals I used to swap out my motorbike indicators before they rot right out, and the 3-way unsealed white plastic fuel pump connector (which has replaced the 2004 OEM sealed one, which DID rot out). I went to remove the fuel tank this weekend and the new connector I fitted just a few weeks ago had green terminals which almost didn't un-plug. I'm looking for something more professional and long-lasting.
squirt of acf 50 keeps them great for years ,,,
I like acf 50 though ,,, but it actually is rated for protecting electrical connections .

Insert said wires and scotchblocks into bag of grease
Cable tie the top shut and cable tie to chassis etc

Now I know why I end up fixing lashed together trailers so often.
Superseals are cheap af, do the job great, and if you bob a little contact grease on them too against galling, downright indestructable if done properly

Just finished using some Cheapanese Superseals and I'm quite happy with the way they went together and come apart again. Bit of a fiddle without the proper tool though, so I've ordered some more and a tool to go with them.
Top Tip: make sure everything is done with your taping up before you put silicone grease anywhere near the cable and connectors. It's a gubber trying to make self-amalgamating tape stick to itself if there's the slightest whiff of silicone grease on it.

To be fair to him they don't ever give trouble but christ it does look a bodge when he does it!

Bloody superseal, we change loads of them due to rotting out, even though they are greased from new.
Three terminal with two wires in each can be fiddly sods. Plus two wires through the seals means the seals cannot seal properly!
In their defence they are mounted in rotten places.
Even the trucks used to have issues with water ingress into the superseal plugs, big recall to grease them up in the warranty period.
