Grote 66831 Pigtail Adaptor

The Grote 66831 is a three-wire pigtail adaptor built for automotive lighting circuits. It connects a male pin source to a female pin lamp using 16 AWG GPT wire. Technicians use it to repair or extend factory harnesses without splicing.

Male pin to 90 degree female termination

The adaptor measures six inches overall and carries a straight PL-3 male connector on one end and a 90 degree female pin connector on the other. Blue insulation identifies the circuit at a glance. The right-angle exit keeps the joint close to the lamp body and reduces strain on the pins.

Replaces damaged factory pigtails

This part replaces a corroded or melted factory pigtail on compatible female pin lamps. The jump is worth it when the original connector fails and a direct plug-in repair avoids cutting into the main harness. It is not suited for circuits that require a different pin count or wire gauge.

Questions about this item

What connector standard does the PL-3 pigtail use, and what wire gauge does that limit?

The straight PL-3 connector carries three 16 AWG conductors, so the circuit is limited to the current rating of 16-gauge wire.

What clearance is needed for the 90-degree female termination and overall length?

The adapter measures 6 in overall with a 90-degree female pin end, so allow at least that depth behind the lamp for the right-angle bend.

How do you install the male-to-female pin adaptor without reversing the polarity?

Match the male pin connector to the vehicle harness and the 90-degree female pins to the lamp; the blue insulation and keyed PL-3 housing prevent incorrect mating.
