What gauge wire will this connector fit? I need weatherproof 10 gauge connection . .

i used it on 10 gauge wire for the fog light wiring that i installed on my truck close to 8 months ago and it is holding up like a champ.

12 gauge wire with barrel style socket will fit into weatherproof 14-16 connection?

Not made for large gauge wires. I think it will handle up to 18-16 awg no problem

Luke, I would not use these connectors for a 10 gauge circuit. I doubt that the pins and sockets are heavy duty enough to handle the current that 10 gauge wire will.

Luke, I believe the largest wire it can handle is 12 gage stranded. But it may be 14 gage. I am fairly sure 10 gage is too large.

You need to buy one. I use a 10-foot length, and therefore selected a rubber jacketed 12-3 (12 AWG with 3 copper conductors). Don't use 'zip cord', it is to small in gauge.Green wire goes to ground ("ground symbol" / left)White wire goes to nuetral ("N" / center)Black wire goes to load ("L" / right)Wire the plug in the same way.

10 gauge. Just got mine in today and it says "Includes 27.6 in. cables (AWG 10) with ring connectors"

10 gauge is 1/8". I used 9 gauge. The product is supposed to be able to work with 10 gauge.

I would get outdoor grade cord. as far as exposing to the elements(rain orsnow) the connection should be elevated!

Can't really tell what gauge the wire is by measuring insulation (gauge should be printed on wire). I can tell you that these tyoe of connectors (often refered to as Anderson connectors) are very forgiving and will take up to a 6 gauge wire (I usuallt solder the wires in rather than crimping them)

you don't have to use the same gauge wire in each terminal. 10 gauge will work fine.

You're way over thinking this just find an outdoor rated cord. If you want longer than 50ft get a 12 gauge cord and less than 50 ft get a 14 gauge cord. If your really concerned this cord is marked SJTW in the description and that means its a hard service weather resistant cord. If your getting a cord for a lawn mower I would recomend that brightest color jacket you can find... helps in avoiding running it over

The extension is not 10 ga wire. It appears to be 14ga., but is designed for lower amperage loads than the 10ga. would be. I am unaware of any premade extension cable with 10ga. Better off to just go buy a roll of 10ga wire and put the ends on you need.

I don't know the gauge, but the wire is quite small/thin, around 3/16" in diameter.

The wire from the light is 18 gage and the connector is already attached to it (as described). I used 12/2 low voltage stranded wire I purchased at Home Depot and had no problem connecting it. I also coated the connector where the wires attached with a good silicon sealant to waterproof the connections for added protection.

I followed the Tessco Technologies automotive wiring guide which you can find online. It takes into account your load draw (amperage) and the length of your wire. For my purposes, I used 10g wire because my maximum load is less than 60 amps and my input wire length is less than 10 feet.

Wire is pretty thick. I don't have it in front of me but I am an apprentice electrician and it appeared to be, from lasting impression, 10 gauge. Maybe only 12 gauge. But, I remember being happy that it was larger than 14gauge. I didn't test the water tightness, and it comes as one continuous 12"-18" loop so you'll have to cut it with this I mind

Hi, it will work. However, I have not come across a suitable connector. You may need to splice wires together. Make sure the connections are secure and, obviously,not exposed to moisture.Hope this helps. AS

The wire gauge is between 10-12. The connectors are much wider, and won't allow you to sleeve them if that is what you are thinking.The length between the connector's varies (inches to feet) Keep in mind, this wiring harness is designed to run your wiring from your dashboard of your vehicle to the front of your car.I had to do a lot of splicing to make it work on my Polaris RZR.

I bought this wire last year. I used a direct bury waterproof connector similar to a Dryconn connector. Any hardware store or box store should have them. I picked mine up at Home Depot. The connectors have silicone inside of them. Make sure you have a good wire stripper since the wire jacket is thick.

I think it should fit but may look kind of a sloppy installation. I got this to use with 0 gauge wire but decided to use 2/0 wire and it worked nicely. Remember the heavier wire the less voltage drop at higher amps.
