Once the male connection plugs in how waterproof is the connection?

I installed this unit in the cockpit of my sail boat for the autopilot. It keeps out any rain or splashes from large waves just fine.

It's a good plug and provides a nice tight seal when plugged in. I'm happy with the buy. I use it on my kayak to plug my fish finder/chartplotter power in. I keep the battery in the hull in a waterproof box.

I use it to plug in trickle charger on wave runner on dock lift. Will be somewhat waterproof in light rain but not in heavy downpour. I get some green corrosion around it. It has been working well outside in florida for a couple years now. Just replaced male end. Female still ok.

Very good. Haven't had any water penetrate. I did fill the male plug with silicone after connecting the cables though. I use this for our anchor light so its at the base of the mast on the cabin top and I also have it mounted to the side inside our cockpit for a solar panel. Both have worked great. The anchor light remains connected all season long on a mooring. Been perfectly fine the last two seasons, no water entry and no corrosion..etc.

Yes. If it is going to be buried I would make sure you use water proof wire nuts, heat shrink tubing or a liquid tape type product to protect the connection from possibly grounding out and corrosion.

I don't see any issues... it is made of plastic (hence waterproof). The only concerns would be (i) the adhesive (you could reinforce it with a waterproof or more resistent glue) and (ii) the cables. Assuming your cables are waterproof I don't see any problem.

Mine is not waterproof. The switch is not covered and would easily leak water.

I am able to plug into all ports with the case on. I have not yet needed to test the waterproofing, but it appears pretty watertight to me.

The thermostat is in the plug - in the yellow housing. This would need to be exposed to the outside air - and somewhat protected from the rain. There is nothing that claims this plug is waterproof, and I have not wanted to test it.

No, it just plugs in. If it suitable for marine use it should be watertight enough for automotive use.

All lo-volt connectors can be buried. No, they are not waterproof, but it doesn't matter.

There is a rubber seal on the charging outlet. I have had no troubles with the device in water.

It closes with a zipper so yes you can open it and plug it in. This would render it un-water proof.

yes, cord is water resistant, but if your power supply connection will be exposed to elements then you might want to wrap it in electrical tape. I have it mounted outdoors under roof eves and its fine

This product appears to be no more suitable for use outdoors than any other product not made specifically for such use. There is no provision for maintaining a dry connection for the sockets and it is unlikely that the switch would be water-proof.

Yes. It is 100% waterproof. I was a little weary of that feature too, but I used it in the tub this weekend with no problems. The charging receptacle is covered by the purple silicone when it is not being charged.

Would be better and safer to put an outside waterproof outlet and plug it in. Would not trust Rain Bird honoring warranty by cutting the chord...

I plug it into a 50' extension cord and use the cord cover to protect and waterproof the connection.Farm Innovators Model CC-2 Cord Connect Water-Tight Cord Lock - Green

The part that goes into the door is a plastic coated magnet. The switch (contact) part is also enclosed in plastic with the two wires coming out of it. I would say it is to a degree it is very water resistant but to say it is waterproof doubtful.

My charger wiring did not come with any waterproof covers. Nor have I found any anywhere. The connectors have a clear plastic cover but I would not consider them waterproof. In fact, the charger itself would need to protected because the wiring is very short. I would suggest a plastic baggie that was securely sealed around the wire for protection and checked frequently.
