Default Quick Disconnect for float switch

What do people use for electric quick disconnects for a float switch connected to a controller? It has I think quite low voltage and amperage. I have make DIY quick disconnects out of old recycled RCA connectors but it is not a very good solution and it just broke again. Preferably I would like to find a dual quick disconnect (two wires on one side and two wires on the other side connecting together).

I use insulated quick connect terminals for pennies a piece
You'll need red ones for your small wire, and a crimper of course
Lots of brands out there and available from any autoparts store
