Packard Connections
The table below gives all the part numbers involved. The connectors are usually purchased as assemblies for either the male or female side. Each side includes a shell, a washer (male pin side) or sleeve (female socket side), and the connector itself (male pin or female socket). The terminology is a little confusing since the female socket connector is housed in the male shell while the male pin connector is housed in the female shell.
There is a three way adapter (MS27147-1) that is primarily used to add auxiliary equipment (such as radio equipment) to a circuit or to modify a circuit such as when replacing a generator with an alternator. It has three male pins (female shells) molded into one housing allowing three female connectors (male shells) to mate to it forming a splice.
