[Kenwood] PG2N power connector

[Jim Pruitt]

Hello Ken.

I do not see any specs on the Lowes page. What I was looking for was the 
size of the spade receptacle you linked.  First I am not looking to 
replace the existing connector with anything.  I want the specified 
connector like JVC/Kenwood used.  You are correct about the spade 
receptacles though. That is what is INSIDE of the Tee connector on the 
PG2N.  I can't tell if it is ¼" or if it is the next size smaller but 
that is what is used in the Tee connector, minus the plastic cover that 
the Lowes ones have.

Thank you.
