2-Wire Packard 56 Terminals

[mopowers]

Does anyone have a source or part number for the Packard 56 terminals that take two 16ga wires? Or is twisting the two wires together and using a larger terminal the only option?

I've been using ones from American Autowire for my harness rebuilding projects

If you need a ton of them, you might want to look on Mouser

Also be sure to get a propper double terminal crimper.

Thank you! I just need a few. Any idea what size wires those are meant for? I'm assuming they'll work with two 16ga wires.

waytek, terminal supply, NAPA should have those.

Thanks Rob. That'd be convenient if I could find them at Napa.

Oh, I missed the putting two wires into one terminal. brain fog... LOL

JMO, twist them together, use a 12ga terminal, then hit the tip of the wires with some solder to lock in place.

Thanks Rob. That's actually what the gentleman at Electrical Depot recommended. Not sure it's worth buying a special wider open barrel crimp tool for either. Plus I can source the 12ga 56's locally if needed.

Do it once with the right tools or do it again down the road when it comes apart?

I have a great open barrel crimp tool for the single 12ga terminals. It'll turn out great.
