The EN3 series from switchcraft is also a good choice available in both
bulkhead and cord mount, weather tite, not difficult to solder. They are
small, light, good strain relief, inexpensive and work well for the trim
system. I also have one in the panel for a Hand held radio power/audio
interface to the audio panel. (Available from Digikey

Picked up the end of this thread late and wasn't
sure what kinds of wires were being considered.
For 22 to 20 AWG wires at 4A or less, the d-subs
are connectors of choice. They're inexpensive and
tooling for installing the machined pins is also
inexpensive. For transitions between the gawd-awful
26AWG leadwires on a RAC trim actuator, consider
this technique:

If you need to break robust wires that carry
landing lights or pitot heat, consider this technique
http://aeroelectric.com/articles/wingwire/wingwire.html
or something similar.
