PWM Cables - Locking disconnects?

I am currently wiring my team's gear tooth sensors, and I would like to have a locking disconnect in the wire, so that the gear box with the sensors enclosed can be quickly and easily removed without wires getting in the way.

I have contemplated cutting and soldering the stock PWM cables and connectos, but I've decided against it for a number of reasons (don't want a solder splice there, don't want the chance of the connection falling apart too easily)

What I am looking for is a connector that has male/female pins that can be crimped to the individual wires of the PWM cable and then inserted into a plastic case. (preferably a case that locks when connected) I used such a system for the same gauge wires at my place of work over the summer, but I don't have access to them at the present time. When I used the connectors there, I believe they were referred to as "C Grid" connectors, but a search of that name has brought me nothing.

If anyone could point me to a location where I could buy these connectors (and what they are actually called) that would be great!
Thanks.
