its called a T-tap connector...

 

its nt really 3 wires la.. its 1 wire, tap onto another wire.. the connector splices the MAIN wire, then provides a connector socket for a quick-connect...

 

if ur purpose is a permanent connection, i strongly suggest splicing the main wire wif a wire-stripper, wrap another wire around it, and solder... much better connection.. i heard that these connectors causes damage to the wires and exposes them to the weather alot, causing corrosion...

That's exactly what I need! Yeah soldering will work, but the joint still needs to be housed in some kind of support, else the soldered joint will just break in a matter of time.

 

Will try my luck again at Sim Lim.

Well I have gone there and done that....They dun know that iz dat. I can 101% confirm that Autobacs have them. But theirs is the blue colour ones which might be too big for bike wiring.

 

Blue colour taps - 18 to 14 AWG

Red colour taps - 22 to 18 AWG.

 

I do have some left (Red Colour T-Taps) when I bought them from US. Do PM if you are interested. I only have the taps hor. The spades you have to get yourself.

Bro correction.....S$0.30 each, selling in packs of 25 = 25 x S$0.30 = $7.50

That's ok, figured that out.

 

Demon is just trying to dispell my thoughts of twisting the Merc emblem off his shiny S-Class!
