ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR SEPARATOR - Lisle 13120

Product Information

A multi-purpose electrical connector is a plug-and-socket device used to join sections of a vehicle’s wiring harness. It allows electrical signals and power to flow between different components, such as sensors, control modules, and accessories. These connectors come in various sizes and pin configurations and are designed to be durable while allowing easy disconnection for repairs or replacements. Over time, exposure to heat, vibration, and moisture can cause them to fail.

• Intermittent or lost electrical function – lights, sensors, or accessories stop working due to poor connection.
• Corrosion or moisture intrusion – green/white buildup, rust, or water inside the connector causing shorts.
• Loose or damaged pins – bent, broken, or spread terminals leading to weak or no electrical contact.

About Lisle

Founded in 1903, C.A. Lisle started the company with the first product being horse-powered water well drilling machines. On the off season to the well drilling business, they manufactured washing machines, cream separators, and push-type reel lawn mowers. In the mid-20s, Lisle Corporation made its first automotive product, a master ignition vibrator for Ford Model T vehicles. The first Lisle tool, a valve refacer, fast became a repair shop must since valves were reground every 20,000 miles at that time. In the 1930's they also manufactured magnetic oil drain plugs that were used in WWII for military equipment resulting in the Army/Navy E Award for manufacturing excellence in supporting the war effort. In the 1950's after the war, the automotive aftermarket boomed and demand for specialty automotive tools increased. It was then that the Lisle Corporation made the decision to grow the company by introducing new tools that could be made in the company's own factory, thereby controlling quality, delivery and costs. Today the company's tool line consists of more than 400 products of which most are produced at the original location, now expanded, in Clarinda, Iowa.
