Piggy Back Disconnects | Dual-Circuit Termination Connectors for Efficient Electrical Wiring
Posted by Paprsky Energy on 4th May 2026
Two Connections. One Terminal. Zero Compromise.
In control panels, automotive wiring, and appliance assemblies, space is limited and connection points are finite. Running two separate circuits from a single terminal without adding complexity, bulk, or additional hardware is a challenge that standard disconnects cannot solve. Paprsky Piggy Back Disconnects are designed specifically for this requirement, allowing two conductors to share a single male tab connection cleanly and securely, without the need for additional terminal blocks, junction points, or wiring detours.
What Are Piggy Back Disconnects?
Piggy back disconnects are crimp-type female disconnect terminals with an integrated secondary male tab built into the connector body. The primary female socket connects to an existing male tab terminal, while the secondary male tab on the rear of the connector provides an additional connection point for a second circuit. This stacked connection arrangement allows two separate circuits to branch from a single terminal point without modifying the original wiring or adding distribution hardware. The insulated sleeve over the crimp barrel provides electrical protection and strain relief for the conductor joint, maintaining safety and reliability in the assembled connection.
Product Information
Paprsky Piggy Back Disconnects are rated for conductor sizes from 1.5mm² to 2.5mm² with a maximum current rating of 15A, covering the standard control and signal wiring requirements found across switching equipment, appliance wiring, and automotive circuits. The PS-PBDD2-250 variant features a 6.35mm NEMA tab width with a 0.8mm tab thickness, compatible with the standard 6.35mm male tab terminals widely used across electrical and automotive assemblies. Available in Red and Blue colour coding for conductor size identification and organised wiring installations.
Key Features
- Dual connection design allows two circuits to share a single male tab terminal without additional hardware
- Rated for 1.5mm² to 2.5mm² conductors at 15A maximum current for control and signal wiring applications
- Integrated secondary male tab provides a clean additional connection point in the same footprint as a standard disconnect
- Compatible with standard 6.35mm NEMA tab terminals used across electrical, automotive, and appliance assemblies
- Insulated PVC sleeve provides electrical protection and strain relief at the crimp joint
- Available in Red and Blue colour coding for organised and standard-compliant wiring identification
- Compact crimp body reduces panel space requirements while maintaining full dual-circuit functionality
Industrial and Professional Applications
- Electrical control panels and switchboards for branching two control circuits from a single switch or relay terminal
- Automotive wiring for splitting signals or supply feeds from a single connector point without additional junction hardware
- Appliance and equipment wiring for connecting two internal circuits to a shared terminal on switches, sensors, or controllers
- Industrial machinery for routing dual control signals from a single terminal block connection in compact panel assemblies
- General electrical installation work wherever two conductors need to share a single tab terminal cleanly and securely
Smarter Wiring Starts at the Connection Point
Every connection point in a panel or assembly that can carry two circuits without additional hardware is a saving in space, time, and material. Paprsky Piggy Back Disconnects deliver that efficiency without sacrificing reliability, current capacity, or connection security. With standard 6.35mm NEMA tab compatibility, 15A current rating, and dual colour availability, these connectors are the practical choice for any wiring job where space is tight and connection points need to work harder.
