Question Source For Pig- Tails ??

I need some of those universal two-wire pig-tails, the ones that come with two identical plug-ends connected by two wires which you cut in two to get two pig-tail ends; the plugs have one insulated terminal and one bare terminal.

These are very common and all are compatible, regardless of manufacturer.


I have dozens with 16AWG wires and smaller.


What I am looking for are these pig-tails with 12AWG leads; where can I get them ??

Thanks.

I know exactly what you mean. I don't know if I'm dreaming, but I seem to remember some older Dodges having them on the blower motor?

You may have to but in some quantity but 10 are usually the retail price of 1.

I believe you are right.

Those would have the big wires.

I would rather not have to wade through the junk-yard, wire-cutters in hand, but that is an option.


Every discount store from here to Manitoba has them in small gauge wire.

I do some auto rewiring and use occasional trailer connectors more for ease of replacement than anything else. A lot of automotive stuff is mfg specific and not readily available so you just have to replace the whole connector assembly. It's a pain that's for sure.

Here is another place I use occasionally.
