Terminal expander for fuse block?
« on: September 23, 2013, 06:25:30 PM »
Hi All:

Got the   bumper with fog lights on the truck today, and it looks great.  Even my non-gearhead wife likes it!

I'm starting to wire them up now, and I have a question.  There is a connector that snaps into the fuseblock, say on the IGN or BAT or FUSED terminals, that then has two connectors on the back, for when you want to connect more than one wire to that terminal.  This is for a 78, so they are 1/4" spade connectors.  Anyone know what you call that sucker, and where you get one?

I think I have what you need.  Going to dinner with my son but when I get back I will take a picture.  If they are what you need, I'll drop them in the mail to you.

GM used to use these connectors with another male on the back, so when you plugged in some accessory, there was still an open connection.  I can wire up a splitter doodad, but the other connector looks so clean (I have one in there now on a different connection) I prefer that route.

I misunderstood what you are wanting.  I have 1/4" female stake-on connectors (blue) color

     http://terminalscheap.com/index.php/double-male-single-female-c-25   Is this what you are talking about, double spades connectors ?
