## Description

Posi-Lock and Posi-Tap products are probably the best electrical connectors on the market. They are used by auto manufacturers and the US military due to their robust nature, providing insulated protection for sensitive electrical connections. They outperform the typical connectors used by the hobbyist (Scotchloks, Snap Locks, Spade Connectors) and are far safer than soldered wires and insulation tape! 6 units per pack

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i use these to tap into one wire into another? i need to connect only two wires together and not three. package shows *2 but i can't see the back?**
A: Yes, this can tap into 2 wires, this making a connection between the two wires

**Q: Regarding electrical resistance where do these stand?**
A: I used these to just tap into a n already existing stereo speaker signal to power my sub woofer and amplifier. 12 volts is 12 volts. Worked great and no interference noise whatsoever. Good luck!

**Q: Are these waterproof? I want to use on a motorcycle where a small amount of water could get into the compartment.**
A: These are not waterproof. We do have a waterproof connector (Posi-Tite) for straight connections, but not for 3-way connections.

**Q: What size posi tap should be used for connecting backup camera wire?**
A: PosiTap connectors come in different sizes to accommodate different wire gauges. Generally, for most backup camera wiring applications, a yellow PosiTap connector that is rated for 18-24 gauge wires should be sufficient. However, it's always a good idea to check the wire gauge of your backup camera wiring and choose a connector size that matches it.
