[Shop-talk] Tapping off a crimp connector?

[Eric J Russell]

I'm not sure exactly what you are seeking. Do you need to be able to 
connect/disconnect this or is a permanent connection OK? If permanent then 
solder/heat shrink is a good choice.

Anyway, I like to use Posi-Lock connectors whenever space is not at a 
premium (they are a little bigger than the typical crimp connectors).
They also have a Posi-Tap connector to tap a wire into an existing wire. Way 
better than the hated 'suitcase' connectors.

Posi-Locks connections can be easily made then opened for situations where 
occasional removal is needed. They also have water-proof covers. I used 
these to re-wire a car trailer and had no electrical issues for years 
thereafter (I sold the trailer).
