Do you want a weatherproof connection?
Does it need to be particularly rugged?

There are circular plastic connectors available that have various numbers of pins that are quite nice, easy to assemble, and inexpensive.

For instance, page 776 of the Newark catalog

Or in the mouser catalog, page 1240

http://www.mouser.com/catalog/634/1240.pdf

you can find any number of pins of pretty much any size.
