I need to make a jumper for my headlight relay, but I'm not an electrical guy at all, so I wasnt sure what this part is called that allows you to put 2 (or more) female connectors on the headlight terminal. I was trying to explain what i needed to the guy at the hardware store but just got a blank look..is there a technical term for one?

I just take what I got to the electrics guy and say...I wants DIS!.....then I look at the box for the discription....

i use thingamajig...

but doo-hickey works as well

Hermaphrodite Terminals. lol

It's the Utah connector. It allows several females to be connected to one male.

An inline multi receptable is what I would call it but can't ever recall seeing one for the multiple spade setup you are wanting. I am thinking you will have to make it yourself. If someone else can do it, you could too.

The female plugs that have a male tab on them are called "piggyback connectors". Not quite what you have there, but close. Does that help?

You can buy these piggyback connectors at most auto parts stores, in the electrical aisle

Found it. Part number 8019K86 at mcmaster.com. I hope you needed 25 of them.

Ummm try FLAPS? Radio shack? Decent hardware or electronics stores. These are common parts.

thanks, thats actually a picture of what i need, not my pic...i'll try piggyback connector. duh, i should have thought to try radioshack:)

these two concern me ...

may i ask WHY you *need* a jumper for your headlight relay ???
Andy

because its one of the new 5 prong relay and there are only 4 connections. jumpering 30 to 56.

I'm following advice YOU gave in this thread:)

(i meant i'm not an electrical guy in the sense I don't know the technical terms for everything, I do know how not to shock myself:) )

Radio Shack part # 64-3064

Quick connect adapter set.

It contains 8 different tyopes for under$2.00

ok, i feel better now ...

don't know what they're called in english, but any good electronics store will have them ...

piggy-back seems like a good word ...
Andy

thanks jeff...i'll hit up "da shack" after work...maybe i'll have TWO headlights after tonight!

Glad I was able to help, finally!

Jeff

By the away, if you can't find any, I have plenty. PM me!

Jeff

Your kidding no one ?......"flux Capacitor"

well radio shack had them, plug it in and worked great...only problem was the headlight still didnt work, so I went through every fuse again and i must have said the magic curse word this time becasue it works now...just one more reason to get the blade type fuse holder :/

do yourself a big favor and get all new fuses for the fuse panel!

they oxidize and make bad connections over time. a nice short term fix is to rotate the fuses in the holders a few times.

Just say it German Andy... We have all heard bad words before.

I was looking for the same thing last month. Went to Radio shack, and three FLAPS and no luck. It's off to McMaster I go.....

tincan...if your radio shack has all the setup with all the trays, with the leds, switches, etc. they should have them, they were in the back of the "wire connections" tray.

I got all new fuses, they will be going in tonight.
