[TowerTalk] weatherproof control voltage connectors

I need to put some relays way out in a field to control some receiving 
antennas.  I have a pretty nice grey plastic, gasketed junction box that I 
can use, and will use one-hole chassis-mount coax connectors for the RF 
lines, but I'm a little stuck on the control lines.  These are 12 volts at 
very low current.  Ideally I'd like to have some sort of connectors that 
would mount in the side of the plastic box without compromising the 
weatherproof character of the box.  I know that I could use a body-mount 
trailer connector but they are awfully large.  Any better thoughts?
