Double Male Electrical Connector – Long Clear Shrouded
Ensure safe and professional wiring junctions with this Long-Body Double Male Spade Connector. This component features two 1/4" (6.3mm) male spade terminals joined back-to-back within an extended, translucent plastic insulator. The "Long" design offers superior protection compared to shorter versions by fully shrouding the female spade connectors once they are plugged in, preventing accidental grounding or "shorting" against adjacent wires or the vehicle's metal body.
Key Features:
-
Extended Clear Shroud: The longer translucent housing provides maximum insulation coverage, making it ideal for high-density wiring areas like the back of the fuse box or headlight buckets.
-
Double Male Bridge: Specifically designed to join two female terminal leads together securely without the need for wire splicing or soldering.
-
Visual Inspection: The clear plastic allows you to monitor the health of the connection and check for any signs of heat damage or corrosion without unplugging the wires.
-
Period-Correct Aesthetic: Matches the original factory wiring style found in vintage Volkswagens and Porsches, maintaining an authentic look under the hood or dash.

Tech Tip: The long version (C-1696) is particularly useful in the trunk area or behind the dashboard where wires may be pulled or moved during maintenance. The extra length of the housing acts as a strain relief, keeping the connection rigid and preventing the terminals from bending or slipping out of the sleeve.
