Piggyback Quick-Disconnect Terminals

Fully

Insulated

Barrel

Insulated

Noninsulated

Create two connections with one terminal. These female connectors have a male tab attached on top, so when they’re connected, there’s another male connection point available. They’re a quick solution for adding circuits to an existing setup when all the male connection points are already in use. Attach your wire with a crimping tool to avoid a damaged barrel and loose connection.

Vinyl Plastic Insulation—Our basic insulation, vinyl prevents the wire from short circuiting and won’t break down from dirt, grime, and occasional twists and tugs.

Nylon Insulation—In addition to preventing short circuits, this wear-resistant insulation protects wire from vibration and rubbing against nearby edges.

Fully Insulated—Plastic covers the entire surface of the terminal, including the connection tab, so there’s no exposed metal to spark or short circuit when connecting to another terminal.

Barrel Insulated—The wire is covered in plastic so it won't short circuit if touched by a screwdriver, nail, or another live wire.

Noninsulated—The basic, economical option when short circuits from nearby wiring aren't a concern.

Single Crimp—Provides a secure enough grip for most jobs.

Double Crimp—The choice for wire that’s frequently pulled, bent, or vibrated. Crimp the extended barrel in two places for an extra-strong grip on the wire.

Quick-Disconnect Terminal Assortments

Install, extend, or rewire a circuit without hunting down new terminals. These assortments include quick-disconnect terminals for most small and medium wire gauges. Labels in the lid include our part numbers, so it's easy to replenish your assortment.

These terminals pair with other quick-disconnect terminals, so you can pop them apart whenever you need to break a connection. Attach your wire with a crimping tool to avoid a damaged barrel and loose connection.

Nylon Insulation—In addition to preventing short circuits, this wear-resistant insulation protects wire from vibration and rubbing against nearby edges.

Fully Insulated—Plastic covers the entire surface of the terminal, including the connection tab, so there’s no exposed metal to spark or short circuit when connecting to another terminal.

Barrel Insulated—The wire is covered in plastic so it won't short circuit if touched by a screwdriver, nail, or another live wire.

Heat-Shrink Piggyback Quick-Disconnect Terminals

A tight plastic seal protects your wire from cuts, moisture, and dust to prevent short circuits and weakened connections. Use a crimping tool to squeeze the barrel evenly and securely onto the wire, then apply heat to seal the plastic onto the wire from all sides.

These female connectors have a male tab attached on top, so when they’re connected, there’s another male connection point available. They’re a quick solution when you don’t have enough male quick-disconnects on hand, or when you need to power one device from multiple sources.

Polyolefin Insulation—The durable plastic prevents short circuits and maintains a tight seal on the wire when exposed to high temperatures, heavy vibration, and long-term wear and tear from maintenance and adjustment.

Barrel Insulated—The wire is covered in plastic so it won't short circuit if touched by a screwdriver, nail, or another live wire.
