| PL3 Receptacles | Built-in locking tabs provide extra security in high-vibration environments. | Light/Medium Duty Trailers, Heavy Duty Trailers, Work & Utility Trucks, Bus, Coach, & RV |
| PL10 Receptacles | Budget-friendly, optional retaining clip for security. PL10 receptacles are suitable for lower-impact applications where extreme vibration and exposure are less of a concern. | Light/Medium Duty Trailers, Intermodal Chassis, Powersports, Marine |
| Hardwired .180 Bullet Connectors | Exclusive IMB™ corrosion-proof technology & vibration-resistance make it ideal for rough terrain and extreme weather conditions. | Agriculture, Mining & Construction, Refuse, Powersports, Bus, Coach, & RV |
AMP-Compatible Integrated Receptacle
Maximum Protection for Harsh Environments
For heavy-duty trailers, intermodal chassis, work trucks, heavy trucks, emergency vehicles, and marine applications, Peterson’s AMP-compatible receptacle provides the highest level of moisture and corrosion protection. Featuring silicone-sealed plugs and an insert-molded design, these connectors create a watertight seal between the receptacle and circuit board—eliminating the need for dielectric grease while maximizing durability. Ideal for stop, tail, turn, mid-turn, clearance, and marker lights, this pre-sealed solution ensures long-term performance in wet, high-exposure environments.
PL3 Receptacles
Secure, Vibration-Resistant Performance
For light/medium duty trailers, heavy-duty trailers, work trucks, and bus and coach fleets, PL3 receptacles deliver a secure, high-performance lighting connection designed to withstand road vibrations and frequent stop-start operations. The integrated locking tabs prevent accidental disconnects, while the sealed construction resists moisture and debris, making them ideal for stop, tail, turn, and mid-turn lights. To extend the service life and protect against corrosion, a simple application of dielectric grease is recommended.
PL10 Receptacles
Cost-Effective, Dependable Performance
For light/medium duty trailers, intermodal chassis, and powersports applications, PL10 receptacles provide a straightforward and budget-friendly connection for LED clearance and marker lights. While offering basic corrosion protection, Peterson’s exclusive steel retaining clip ensures the plug stays firmly in place. This is an ideal solution for standard lighting needs, where cost efficiency meets reliable performance. Adding dielectric grease can further safeguard the connection and prevent potential failures.
Hardwired .180 Bullet Connectors
Built for Extreme Conditions
Perfect for agriculture, mining and construction, refuse, powersports, and bus and coach applications, Peterson’s exclusive IMB™ technology makes .180 bullet connectors the ultimate choice for extreme environments. These connectors prevent corrosion at connection points and ensure a strong, vibration-resistant fit—critical for vehicles that operate in rough terrain and demanding job sites. Built to handle constant movement and exposure, these connectors offer a secure and hassle-free installation. For added moisture protection, applying dielectric grease can further enhance longevity.
