Wire Terminals Spade Connector Male 3pc for Ignition Coils

Ignition Coil Spade Terminal Adapter Kit – 00-012KIT

Streamline your engine bay wiring and ensure secure electrical connections with the 00-012KIT Ignition Coil Spade Terminal Adapter Kit. This specialized 3-piece kit is designed for enthusiasts running multiple electrical accessories—such as electronic ignitions, tachometers, or fuel pump relays—that all require a trigger signal or power from the ignition coil. Instead of "daisy-chaining" wires or using unreliable crimp connectors, this kit provides dedicated male spade mounting points directly on the coil's threaded terminals.

The kit is uniquely engineered to solve the problem of limited space on standard canister-style coils. It includes two dual-spade adapters that provide male terminals on both sides of the mounting eyelet and one single-spade adapter typically used on the positive (+) terminal to allow for a total of three clean connections on one side of your coil. This setup ensures that your primary ignition wiring remains undisturbed while providing professional-grade expansion points for your accessories.

Product Highlights & Features

• 3-Piece Comprehensive Set: Includes two double-male spade adapters and one single-male spade adapter for maximum wiring flexibility.

• Threaded Connection Design: Adapters bolt directly onto the coil’s 5mm or 6mm threaded posts, providing a much more vibration-resistant connection than standard slide-on adapters.

• Clean Wire Management: Eliminates the need for "piggyback" spade connectors, reducing clutter and potential short circuits around the high-voltage coil area.

• High Conductivity: Manufactured from brass or plated steel to ensure zero voltage drop between the coil and your ignition components.

Technical Specifications

• Part Number: 00-012KIT

• Kit Count: 3 Pieces

• Terminal Type: Male Spade (Quarter-inch / 6.3mm)

• Mounting Style: Eyelet (Bolts onto threaded coil posts)

• Finish: Zinc or Brass plated for corrosion resistance

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Correct Orientation: When installing the dual-spade pieces, angle them so they do not touch the metal body of the coil or the opposite terminal. A short circuit at the coil can instantly damage electronic ignition modules.

• Don't Over-Tighten: The small nuts on the ignition coil terminals do not require high torque. Tighten them just until the adapters are snug; over-tightening can snap the threaded stud off the coil's internal head.

• Insulate Your Leads: Since this kit allows for more connections, ensure all your female spade connectors have proper rubber or plastic insulators to prevent accidental contact between the positive and negative sides of the coil.

• Check for Corrosion: During your annual tune-up, verify that the nuts holding these adapters are still tight. Heat cycles can sometimes loosen the hardware, leading to intermittent stalling or misfires.
