female connector for fuse box

I need to connect a circuit for my gear vendor to a circuit that has power with the ignition on. I found an open slot but it looks like it needs a female connector end. The slot in the fuse box is "L' shaped. Where would I find a factory style female end connector/pigtail? It is hard to see but it looks like it has only one brass spade terminal in the fuse box cavity, and I have only seen female end pigtails which don't look like they would fit into the L shaped slot cavity. Thanks.

Sounds like a packard 56 connector.

Re: female connector for fuse box

The Packard 56 connector appears to be a single male spade connector. I am attaching a pic of the fuse box for a square body. I have circled in red the type of slot I am trying to connect to. It appears to be an L shaped slot with only one spade terminal, so I think I need a female connector with two prongs to attach to the single spade connector (like the female side of a spade terminal connector, only with an outer insulator in an "L" shape to match the slot in the fuse box. I have a connector and pigtail in this type of slot in my fuse box already, so it seems that they existed at one time and I hope they are still available. Thanks.

These are what you need. Expensive if you just need one, but it's what fits correctly.

Re: female connector for fuse box

Thanks. That looks like a build your own connector type of device. On the same page is: Pico GM Fuse Block Taps 0951PT which looks similar. Would this work? With this connector, is it just another male brass spade that rubs up against the male brass spade in the cavity? I was thinking I would need a female spade for the male spade in the fuse box.
