Typically black plastic, oval (well, rounded ends), locking catch on one side, normally have a color coded concertina rubber section in the middle. They are waterproof, and I've seen them from as small as 2 pin, up to 12 (the lead going to the ignition amp on my car). -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
