The M12 Waterproof Connector PBT Plastic Sliding 8 Pin Adapter Signal Panel Mounts (8pin) receives mixed reviews from customers. While some users find it easy to install and of good quality, others express difficulties when trying to solder the connector or find that it is too small for their wires. One customer points out that the connector does not come with a pigtail for easier crimping or soldering. They mention that if you are not experienced in soldering, it can be challenging to attach the connector without melting the plastic that holds the pins. Additionally, they note that a very fine-tipped soldering iron is necessary for working with these connectors. Another user with extensive soldering experience struggled with soldering this connector to a coiled phone handset wire. They explain that the wires in the phone handset are thin, twisted together, and hard to prime, making soldering difficult. They also mention that prolonged heating from the soldering iron can cause the plastic to melt. On the positive side, a customer mentions using these connectors in a commercial setting for a wet environment, and they work well for their intended purpose. Overall, the M12 Waterproof Connector PBT Plastic Sliding 8 Pin Adapter Signal Panel Mounts (8pin) seems to be of good quality and easy to install for those with the necessary skills. However, it may not be suitable for all wiring applications due to its small size and the challenges associated with soldering.
