Automotive systems are undergoing many changes, and microprocessors control modern automotive systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, there is a rising demand for good quality and reliable electrical wires and connectors, such as the pigtail wire harness<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pigtail wire harness understanding:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A pigtail harness refers to a wiring harness having an open ECU-compatible connector at one end and loose stripped wires at the other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These individual or loose stripped wires are called pigtails, and that\u2019s how the harness got its name. The standard length of these harnesses is 6 feet or 2 meters long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, you can find 12-foot options also. If you want customized lengths according to your applications, Cloom can supply you as desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pigtail connectors have dielectric grease filled inside that prevents moisture ingression into the connector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While inserting the wires into the connector, you need not strip them. Insert the wires directly into the connector and press the point with the blue cap using a pair of pliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few metal tines inside the connector slice through the wire insulation, forming a connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to this property, these connectors are also called insulation displacement connectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can connect up to three different-sized wires (20 AWG to 14 AWG) in these connectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pigtail connectors are UL-listed with CSA certification and can operate at a maximum power rating of 300 volts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classification of Automotive electrical pigtail wire harness:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Any vehicle will have an average of 274 pigtail connectors, including circular, power, rectangular, PCB, charging, and other connectors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As vehicle communication applications increase, increasingly pigtail connectors of high quality, high frequency, and high speed are becoming popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
