Need waterproofed connectors

Post by kise1_off »

Hello!
I understand that this https://www.adafruit.com/product/744 cable is waterproofed when it is connected. But when two parts are disconnected, are they able to resist water.
Also, is it possible to use this https://www.adafruit.com/product/5358 as a waterproof connector?

No. The connection is only waterproof once the gland is screwed shut. Inside, the conductors have to be exposed so they can connect to each other.

Not even remotely. The conductors are fully exposed on both sides of each half.
