Or am I paranoid about water damage?
This is an SP connector but I think the Shimano is similar.
They are all similar. Mine's a Shimano and exactly the same. Yes, water ingress is a problem because mine is rusted and sometimes makes a poor connection and I have to clean it up again. I wish they would make the tabs from brass rather than plated steel and, design some sort of seal and sophistication into the damn thing.View attachment 461449 What is the CC view on protecting a dynamo connector against water ingress. There is a small gap where the wire enters the top of the connector. Is sealing this with PVC tape sufficient or should I try some form of adhesive?

Thanks for the hints everyone. I installed it with the connector at the top as this is specified in the installation instructions.
I will try to seal the top of the connector better. Maybe heatshrink to increase the wire diameter will work. If not I will try some form of grease.
