The WesBarg 7-Way, RV-Style Connector # WG54006-043 uses two different gauges of wiring so you will need two sizes of butt connectors.

For the three smaller wires you will want Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 16-14 gauge wire # DW05744-5.

For the three larger wires you will want Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 22-18 gauge wire # DW05743-5.

When you install # WG54006-043 to your trailer you will want to make sure to test the wires by function instead of relying just on matching color to color. Different manufacturers are going to color their wires different colors so it's not a uniform design.
