DICTIONARY OF AUTOMOTIVE TERMS - "Yc"

Y-configuration
A Y-shaped connection of the three stator windings of an alternator
Y-connector
Any connector in the shape of the letter Y -- often referring to a hollow unit. For example, the line coming from the Windshield washer pump is connected to the bottom part of a Y and the two tubes going to the windshield nozzles are connected to the upper part of the Y. It differs from a T-connector in that the V-shape is straight across.
