Grote 3-Wire Pigtail Connector 18 AWG

This Grote 66860 pigtail provides a 3-wire connection with an 18 AWG gauge and blue insulation. It features a female PL-3 connector mated to a 3-way hard shell for secure mating. The assembly measures 6 inches overall with 5 inches of wire lead. It is designed for compatibility with stop, turn, and tail light functions.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The GPT wire insulation resists automotive fluid exposure and temperature cycling during extended operation. The hard-shell connector housing maintains positive retention under vibration from continuous vehicle use. The 18 AWG conductors handle the current demands of standard lighting circuits without overheating. Crimped terminals ensure consistent conductivity throughout the service life.

Upgrade Context

This pigtail replaces damaged or corroded factory harness connectors on lighting circuits. The jump is worth it when the original plug shows melted terminals, broken locking tabs, or green corrosion on pins. It restores the circuit without splicing into the main harness. Buyers needing a different wire gauge or pin configuration cannot use this assembly.

Questions about this item

Does the 18 AWG wire on this 66860 pigtail handle continuous load without overheating?

The 18 AWG GPT wire is rated for typical stop, turn and tail light circuits; it carries the current those lamps draw without excessive heat buildup.

What mating connector does the female PL-3 hard shell on this pigtail require?

It plugs directly into a matching male PL-3 connector on the vehicle harness or lamp assembly.

Will this 6-inch blue pigtail reach the factory socket on an older trailer light housing?

The 6-inch overall length and 5-inch wire leads are designed for standard stop, turn, tail light spacing on most trailers.
