Interesting to see TNP quoting Paul Krugman ...

For once he said something true.

The exception proves the rule.

IP67, so only 30 mins underwater rated

Yes, they're the ones mentioned fairly early on in this thread. However it's not clear (and I can't find detailed specs) what diameter wire these will successfully work with. I *suspect* that they're for typical car wiring loom type wire of 3/4/5mm diameter, my little pumps have much thinner wire than this.

Searching around a bit and I've found more information, there are Green seals for 1.2 to 1.6mm diamter, yellow for 1.7 to 2.4mm and read for 2.5 to 3.3mm.

So, if I get green seals, these would work OK. They're quite cheap (about £1 each) so I'll try some. Even if they let the water in after a while I don't think this will be a big issue.

I'd regard those Tyco pattern ones as "splash proof" at best, not for immersion.
