FAQ
No, the T Tap design is self-stripping; the metal blade cuts through the insulation automatically when you close the connector.
While the quick disconnect male terminal is reusable, the T-tap itself is designed as a permanent splice for maximum safety.
They offer excellent insulation, but if you are working in high-moisture areas like under-carriage lighting, we recommend adding a bit of dielectric grease.
