What is a pigtail connector?

A pigtail connector is a type of electrical connector that is typically used in electronic devices or wiring systems. It consists of a short length of wire with a connector at one end and bare wires at the other end.

The connector end of the pigtail is usually designed to plug into a socket or receptacle, while the bare wires can be connected to other wires or components using wire nuts or soldering.

Pigtail connectors are often used in situations where a permanent or semi-permanent connection is needed, but the exact length of wire required may vary. They are commonly used in automotive wiring, lighting fixtures, and electrical outlets.

Pigtail connectors come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and configurations to suit different types of applications. They are typically color-coded based on their function or wiring requirement to ensure proper installation and connection.
