T-Tap Wire Connectors

A metal blade inside the body presses through the insulation of the existing wire and contacts the conductor. The original wire stays intact and in circuit.

Not the existing wire. Lay it into the channel and close the tap over it. The new wire crimps into the spade that plugs into the side.

Yes. The new wire terminates in a 0.250″ male push-on that pulls out of the tap, so the accessory can be removed without touching the tap or the original wire.

The colours correspond to wire gauge ranges. Match the tap to the wire you are tapping into — an oversized tap will not close onto the conductor properly.

No. T-taps are for low to medium current work — lighting, accessories, signal and sensor wiring. For heavy loads such as a starter, a winch or a main feed, use a crimped or soldered connection instead.

Yes. Turn the power off, squeeze the sides with pliers to release the latch, and slide it off. Check the insulation where the blade sat before you leave the wire in service.

Adding something to a harness that is already in the car — a dash cam, reversing camera, light bar, stereo feed or alarm — where cutting the original loom would be the wrong move.
