Default Waterproof quick disconnect

I posted this in the electronics forum as well.

Does anyone know of a supplier for these?
I'm thinking of one similar to automotive ones that are oval in shape with a rubber ribbed sealing gasket (i've seen orange & green gaskets under a hood) with a pig tail for pos & neg.
Tried auto store but the only have females like the ones to fit on late model alternators.

Tinned wire would be nice.

I want to put these on all the stuff that fails ( pumps mostly) so when i have to service a pump, all i have to do is disconnect plumbing and unplug the connector and out it comes! No cutting wires and re-soldering or crimping in (of course you know) in
the tightest most inconvienient place.
Thanks!

Deutsch connectors are what you're looking for (they are not pigtailed - you add the wires from your source and load to pins that fit into the connectors). Here's a random site I found through Google:

http://www.deutschconnector.com/prod...onnectors.html

Click on "DTP Series, Multi-Contact Power Connectors" and you'll see choices down to 10 AWG.
