5 pin connector recommendations that have both male and female sockets available (programming.dev)

I'm looking for a 5 pin connector type that I can easily find chassis plugs for both male and female.

I've looked at DIN and mini xlr connectors, but have unsurprisingly been unable to find male chassis sockets.

The pins needs to support 12V 10A*

*realistically only expects about 6-7A flowing through 1 pin and one fourth of that through the 4 others.

If you solder together the ends on the LED you'll only need 2 pins

By soldering the ends of the LED, do you mean the 4 earth connections? I should probably have clarified that the 4 "earth" connections only lead to earth when the mosfets connected to the LED is open. Each connection leading to earth is for either, R, G, B or W so they can't be soldered together.
