RESEARCH SHOWS MALE PIN CONNECTION IS BEST

Recent laboratory tests conducted by an independent testing company found that the Grote Ultra-Blue-Seal® male pin wiring harness outlasts any other system.The 1,000-hour tests subjected various four-inch-round stop, tail and turn LED lamps and trailer wiring harnesses to the harsh conditions encountered on the road. The lamp-to-harness connection was shown by the tests to be the number one failure point.

Grote’s male pin UBS system had a pass rate of 85 percent — more than double that of any other system tested (all of which use female pin connections). The leading system in the marketplace had a pass rate of 33 percent. More than 90 percent of that brand’s system failures were attributed to the lamp-to-harness connection.

The Grote UBS male pin system combines male-pin lamps with female connectors on the wiring harness for a corrosion-proof and vibration-resistant connection. It also prevents ground shorts, a common wiring system breakdown associated with road-induced vibration.
