The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - double-pinning a sealed terminal?

kipps · 09-17-2020, 09:35 PM

I'm specifically looking at GT and MetriPack terminals here, but the question applies more broadly.

If an OEM double-pinned a terminal(i.e. two wires on the same terminal), it appears they exclusively did so with non-sealed terminals and connectors.

Is it possible to do this with sealed terminals and connectors? I suppose I could drill out a seal, use an oversize seal, or just kinda' smash the seals into the hole and hope they fit.

But are there any sealed connector systems with seals designed for a double-pinned terminal? I'm hypothetically picturing a seal with a figure-eight shaped hole in the middle, to accommodate both wires.
