I need a really weather tight connector.
I'd like to use something similar to what the automotive electronic boxes use, I believe it is called a "packard" connector.
But I can not find a PC board mountable "packard" connector.
It is a deep large pined/socket connector.
What is the connector style/design the automotive boxes use?
Deutsch connectors are very good:

Delphi has the Packard connectors. Their catalog isn't particularly well organized though, even as connector companies go.
You should probably look at Deutsch. I found their connectors easier to get in small quantities and easier to use as well. Their catalogs are a little easier to navigate but take forever to download.

Try:-
The above links were found using "waterproof connector" as the search term.
You need to look at connectors by their IP rating. Some automotive stuff needs IP67 ratings which can be done by a number of outfits.
So search (google is your friend) something like 'IP67 connector'.
