PIGTAIL TERMINAL SELECTION CHART
CHECKING FOR POOR FIT O F TERMINALS
Select the proper size pigtail terminal by matching the
replacement terminal part number and the wire size
being repaired to the corresponding pigtail terminal
part number. Then use the color (size) splice
connector listed. In some instances you may also
have to match the wire seal style to select the proper
pigtail terminal. Pigtail terminals are available through
your parts department, in quantities of 1 0 , using
normal parts ordering procedures.
Wire Seal Type
Loose terminal fit can cause a number of intermittent
problems in electrical circuits. By using the Terminal
Inspection Feeler Tool Set you can inspect the
terminal fit between the two matching connectors
without removing the terminals from the connector
body.
1. Find the terminal tool that best matches the male
terminal in the mating connector.
2. Insert the terminal tool into the female terminal,
and then remove the terminal tool.
NOTE: Make sure you do not select a terminal tool
that is larger than the mating male terminal
because it would spread the female terminal and
cause a loose fit.
3. Compare the drag to the other terminals in the
connecior. If the drag is less, replace the terminal
with a replacement terminal from the appropriate
terminal repair kit.
