Pigtail adaptors are used where feeder wires exceed the range of terminal lugs.

|
|
> "Pigtail adaptor" is the most common name and spelling for the device,
|
|
> however it's something of a misnomer,
|
|
> having nothing to do with pigtails (a short length of wire),
|
|
> the name likely stemming from the device being used _in lieu_ of a pigtail.
