The implication that an electronic supply store has better quality material
is not correct.
ALL and I mean ALL supply houses have material that just barely makes the
grade as well as top of the line stuff.
For a permanent connection for wires you might as well as do what the
military does for most military applications.
It's called a "soldier sleeve"
They come in different sizes, lengths, and temp ratings.
Go to one of the national mfg. sites such as AMP, Panduit, Molex and the
like and look at what they offer.
Also you need to protect and connection after it's done (unless a solder
sleeve is used) with a shrinkable sleeving.
There are many varieties of sleeving, PVC, irradiated Poly, Teflon and the
like.
There is also sleeving with an adhesive linner inside that melts when heated
to make a weatherproof connection.
A cheap PVC squeezable connector is the EASY way out but also a EASY way to
future problems.
