Review on πŸ› οΈ Hopkins 56305 Quick-Lock Diode Set, 4-Pack for Improved SEO by Mike Wieneke

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It was fine with the smaller 20g cable on the car. Standard 4 wire tow rope 16ga.

I use them for taillights on my dirty car behind the camper. I was between them and small diodes with three blade terminals each. Looking back, I would like to go with others. While they seem to work well, I'm not sure if they're meant for long-term use. It was fine with the smaller 20g cable on the car. The standard 16ga 4-wire towline was slightly too big for the plugs and didn't fit securely in the plastic groove. A large wire also made it difficult to properly punch it onto the terminal. I was happy to see there was enough room to connect 2 wires to the same terminal. If I had to do it again I would use different diodes as I prefer spade connections. However, they work well for a simple quick fix.

Pros
  • Electric
Cons
