Spade Connectors are often supplied as a user added item to discount light pods and bars. This connection type allows for a secure end termination but can also be disconnected should you need to remove the pods or light bar for any reason. The silicone/plastic covers over the female terminals allows for some level of water protection but this is not a watertight connection. If prolong use under wet conditions is to be expected please use electrical tape or something to create a barrier to prolong a good connection. Keep in mind these require the use of a special tool often found on wire cutters to create a secure connection. Look for the PURPLE symbol for compatibility across our range of products!

Butt Connectors are often used when a light bar or pod is expected to never be removed but needs secure connection. Due to the fact both ends are permanently connected there is no ability to disconnect a Butt Connector. Applications would include those with heavy wet conditions but also not installed in a place to inhibit maintenance or access. Keep in mind a special tool is needed to properly crimp these (often found on crimping tools with color dots). Look for the RED symbol for compatibility across our range of products!
