I want to make a water proof box for my ATV EV project, and i cant seem to find through the wall box connectors... i am probably using the wrong name, but i'm looking for connectors that are waterproof, can be mounted to a box, and come with a connector where i can plug a cable into.

The main goal is to create a sealed box for any water sensitive components... anyone know what i am thinking about and where to best find them?

I think the words that might help your search are "flush mount" and " ip** " where xx are 2 numbers relating to dust and water ingress rating eg IP67

In that realm, but more like the multi wire connector that goes through the firewall of a car.

for larger single cables, like welding cables for power connections I often use standard PGxx cable glands. They're about $3 to $15 each depending how robust and what size cable you need to run through them.

I've also used panel-mount XT-60 connectors from the RC world for charging port on some batteries that only need 20 or 30A connection for charging. XT60 goes up to 50A I think and I was able to get some panel-mount kits cheap online and seal them into a case wall with urethane or silicone or something. Not milspec watertight but good enough for my needs.

good luck.

Thanks. I have been using glands, but I was looking for a multi wire solution. Glands take up too much space and to many to put through for a dozen+ 12ga wires
