InstallBay

(60 products)

InstallBay is Metra Electronics' installation hardware brand. These are the connectors and terminals installers reach for every day, sold in shop-size packs so you never run out mid-job. We use these same connectors on installs in our own Houston shop.

InstallBay connectors and terminals

Nylon butt connectors in standard and mini sizes
Ring and spade terminals
Bullet connectors and quick disconnects
T-taps and crimp caps (snow caps)
Vinyl and uninsulated options

How to pick the right connector

Match the connector to your wire gauge first. InstallBay uses standard color coding: yellow minis for 26 to 24 AWG, red for 22 to 18 AWG, blue for 16 to 14 AWG and yellow for 12 to 10 AWG. A connector that is too big will not crimp tight, and a loose crimp is one of the most common causes of intermittent problems.

Nylon connectors hold up better to heat and vibration than vinyl, which makes them a good pick for under-dash and engine-bay work. For quick repairs, a small pack is fine. If you install regularly, the 100 and 1,000 piece packs bring the cost per connector way down.

See the InstallBay brand overview, or shop all nylon connectors and ring terminals and heat shrink.
