Pretty good, with some caveats
Pretty good quality and a very good price compared to automotive part stores. Although not stated in the description, this connector should be soldered as there is insufficient room inside to get a safe and reliable connection for the full 15A current rating of the connector. Don't wrap wire around the terminal screws; remove the terminals and solder the wires on where there is sufficient clearance. The plug also includes a 8A Bosch-style automotive ceramic fuse, also not mentioned in the description. If you plan on using the full capacity of the connector you will also need to buy an uprated fuse and Jaycar doesn't sell them. So you may end up at one of those automotive part stores in the end anyway!
Should have been easy but wasn't
I brought this product to replace a damaged plug. I found extremely difficult to terminate the wires under the screw terminals and when I finally succeeded couldn't close the enclosure. The fuse assembly also came apart easily further to the frustration. In the end I abounded the projecting went for another solution
Horrible. Do not buy
Absolutely rubbish. Been an auto elec for 15 years and by far the worst plug ive encountered
Terrible product
This product should not be sold in NZ. The gap to feed the wires through does not meet the minimum requirement for the current threshold. Threw the product away and brought a decent product elsewhere.
