Default Electric brake wire connectors

I’m installing new Dexter brakes on my 2013 2720SL. I’ve attached a picture of the brake wire connections on the drivers side. What are these called and where can I get some for the new brakes? I’ve been searching for these on the internet and can’t find them.

Looks like the wires that go to the magnet - didn't know they came off.

Aside from the color, the connectors look like this.

Certainly a big improvement over the old wire nuts.

Bill,
Thank you. If you were doing this, would you use these Irrigation Wire Connectors or use heat shrinking butt connectors?

I soldered, heat shrunk, and taped mine. I'm personally not a fan of trusting any sort of crimp connector for brakes on 3500 lbs behind me. But that's just me.

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback. On my old 2004 2720SL, the brake wires had been connected with wire nuts from the factory! I think I replaced them with heat shrink butt connectors and then taped the connections.
