Any compact, reliable, waterproof connector? - Pedelecs

I understand your desire to cut costs, but if you want to play with cutting edge, be prepared for sharp prices and bleeding fingers. I don't know of anywhere else that sells individual Higo connectors so I think you're bent over a barrel here.

EDIT: Just to add, I think your search for such a connector is somewhat misguided. The most reliable connection is a soldered connection and if you've got a reliable system, you shouldn't have to worry about having to fiddle with it in the future.

I agree I have many cheap parts... and connectors caused me enough grieve to have binned all of them and soldered all my small wires.Currently all my light, throttle, hall are soldered. It has advantages and disadvantages.Its definitely more reliable than any JST connectors I had so far...However, under heavy rain, when the whole lots is submerged short does happen. Shrink wrap are not as water tight as I hope and when its full of water it just short. It is problematic.I decided to fill all connectors with waterproofing gel in order to fight the rain....Unfortunately, parts do fail. And when it fails diagnosing the problem takes time.I thought the issue was from my cheaper throttle and swapped it.Then when replaced.. I realised the issue was still there. It came from my wuxing expensive regen throttle who failed.Diagnosing and replacing parts takes LOTS of time, especially when all wires are soldered and silicon gel has to be removed.So it's good... until you have a bike failure and you need to start diagnosing the problem. Then it becomes a very tedious job.Ideally, I'd like compact and reliable connector allowing me to quickly swape the part, diagnose the issue and finally replace the failed one....

I’m sure there are multiple ways to cover them but seems like that would be permanent and I don’t want to do that, most of the time these are brake cut off wires and a good chance I’ll use them in the future
But thank you for the suggestion

I am determined to find some, have feelers out to two or three companies

Will keep this updated as to my success
