Many-to-One Connectors? By ellpee (Read 461 times)

In doing a bunch of re-wiring lately, I've encountered situations where in lieu of individual male-female connectors, it would've been nice to have connectors where, for example, three females plug into one side and a single female comes out the other side. An example would be several items that need a ground wire -- run them all into this hypothetical multi-connector and run a single wire out the other side to the frame. Hope I'm describing this clearly enough. Does such a thing even exist? Anybody have a link? Are there electrical situations where this would be a bad way to go?

If you could wire into one plug, and something goes bad everything would be off line. where would you begin to know where the problem exists? each connector has purpose, one connector hooks up from the startor to the R/R to the battery and on and on we go. (but interesting idea)

In response to the question you could use these;

that way if you need to trouble shoot a problem they could be unplugged to single down the wiring.

Thanks, Texan, that's more or less what I was thinking of.
