solar confusion

[jage]

I only got one, is it possible to locate a source to replace these... is it a common solar appliance plug or anything?

Here is what I got from SMBW when I was inquiring:

I tried googling for that (Callisto; the part number) without luck. To me they look like something I have seen before (waterproof electrical connector) but I can't place where. Seems like maybe a Radio Shack or more specialized electronics supply store (like JB Saunders in Boulder) might have them???

I saw a picture of this plug somewhere else on the forum (couldn't find it again this evening). It looked a lot like the plug I just picked up from West Marine:

Waterproof deck fitting, aka 'through deck fitting.' This particular one only rated to 15A, though.

Cheers!

15A should be ok. It is only one panel going through the plug, isn't it?
