Triple snap connector
A Lucas triple snap connector (bullet-terminal junction) for ganging three wire connections together in British bike wiring harnesses.
This is the Lucas triple snap connector, part number 850844, also known by its old alias C-333. It's a wiring connector used to gang together bullet-terminated wires so three connections can be made at once instead of fumbling with individual bullets and sleeves.

On British bikes of this era it turns up wherever the harness needs to split or join multiple circuits cleanly — our catalog shows it appearing in nacelle/headlamp and switch assemblies, contact breaker and ignition coil wiring, and headlamp/harness/tail lamp/rectifier setups. It shows up across a long run of catalog entries, so it's a common item in these harnesses rather than something tied to one specific circuit.
If you're rebuilding or repairing a harness and find a triple bullet junction that's corroded, cracked, or missing its sleeve, this is the part that replaces it. Cheap insurance isn't the phrase Ed would use — just note it's a small item worth having on hand when you're sorting out old wiring, since these connectors get brittle and crack with age.
